Tom,

Thanks for the tip regarding the dodgy router/modem.

I have now replaced it and run another set of tests:

  • I’m still set up using the router/modem port forward configuration.
  • All tests appeared to work OK: domain, smtp, smtps, msa, imaps, http, https
  • I did not see any martian destination packets.

I’ve included shorewall_dump-4 below.

For the next test, I’ll:

  • remove the router/modem port forwarding.
  • reset my name servers to use my /28 subnet and try again going directly to my firewall and shorewall config.

IP Addresses used for test 4:

203.214.66.97 external router/modem gateway (internal interface)
203.214.66.100 nameserver,smtp 
203.214.66.104 mail 
203.214.66.103 Reverse Proxy Server 
172.16.4.203 Web Server
49.183.57.44 Laptop’s updated IP address


Kind regards,

Bruce

Regarding Martian packets:

Yes, I’m still seeing many of them under the router/modem port forward configuration.

I’ll replace my modem tomorrow and try again.

Thanks for the pointer.

Kind regards,

Bruce

Hi Tom,

I have some partial improvement that may help.


I have:

* reset my nameserver to point each of my ‘servers’ to the IP
address of the external interface of my external router/modem. * on
the external router/modem, I configured WAN Port Forwarding to
point to several of the same /28 subnet external addresses as per
my previous emails: o http, https                   203.214.66.103
o smtp                           203.214.66.100 o smtps, msa, imaps
203.214.66.104 * made no changes to my shorewall configuration. *
made no changes to the network addresses or routing configuration
of my servers. * made no changes to my web server, or reverse proxy
server
configuration.


When testing externally I can now access the website at
www.foss4climate.org <http://www.foss4climate.org>. However, access
is considerably slower than normal.

NB: These tests were conducted soon after I made my nameserver
changes. While my laptop’s nameserver could get the correct URL for
the website. it had not picked up the correct URL for my mail
servers. So ignore the mail related connections.

Also note that my shorewall configuration does not take account of
the router/modem's external interface, or IP address. It just
accounts for the modem’s internal IP Address.

Shorewall Dump for test 3 is attached.

IP Addresses in test 3:

203.214.66.97external router/modem gateway (internal interface)

203.214.66.103Reverse Proxy Server 172.16.4.203Web Server
49.199.104.114Laptop’s updated IP address

Is seems to me that from the Shorewall box's point of view, this
configuration should be no difference that the one where DNS resolves
to the actual server addresses - by the time that packets reach the
Shorewall system, they should look the same. Are you still seeing
martian packets with this configuration?
