Linux as router (Gateway Server)

Linux as router (Gateway Server)

[Navneet]

Dear all,

 I have a question,

"I only have a single network connection, but I would like all my computers
to have Internet access.
How is this possible?'

1.What i have?

My network configuration is as follows:-

          eth1
  (172.21.0.133/28)
               |
             |
    AGNI {RedHat 9[Squid Proxy,Gateway ,firewall & FTP] }
             |
             |
             |
     (192.168.0.0/16)
           eth0
              |
---- SWITCH----------
              |
              |
              |
          LAN


where:-
eth0-Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100]
eth1-Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5702 Gigabit Ethernet

2.What i have done:-

a)Enabled IP forwarding

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
& added above line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local

b)Firewall rules as follows:-

# vi testWall

1 *filter
 2 :INPUT DROP [0:0]
 3 :FORWARD DROP [0:0]
 4 :OUTPUT DROP [0:0]
 5
 6 # allow local loopback connections
 7 -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT

#iptables-restore </root/testWall

#iptables-save

3.What i got:-

a)users can able to browse internet via squid proxy (192.168.0.1:3128)
i.e http/https

b)But can't able to access mails (POP3/SMTP)  from our ISP mailserver.

can't able to go beyond my RedHat (AGNI) server, while i do traceroute of my
ISP's mailserver.

What i am doing wrong? please suggest



Thanks & regards,

[Navneet]

Many many thanks to all of you for devoting you valuable by reading &
replying to my mail(query).



Quick recaps and updates:



1.i am still using RedHat Linux 9

#uname -a

Linux agni.leo.com 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:54:28 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux



2.Having: RTL8139 on board +  RTL 8029 plugged in(external label is of SMC
?).

#lspci -v

3:06.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS)

        Subsystem: Standard Microsystems Corp [SMC] EZ-Card (SMC1208)

        Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 5

        I/O ports at cc00 [size=32]

        Expansion ROM at ffffc000 [disabled] [size=16K]



03:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

        Memory at dfdfff00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]

        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2



NOTE: should I use different NIC , that use different modules ?



3. iptables  v1.2.7a



4.Now I am port redirecting i.e http/80 >>squid-cache/3128

adding my current iptables rules



5.users can browse Internet, but can't able to access FTP sites?



Please refer below for ftp error logs/X'fer log



6.What I am trying to :

a.>  This Linux system should act as gateway 9router) between my LAN &
WAN.[Working]

b.>  Act as proxy server trough Squid & url filtering by using SquidGuard.
[Working]

c.>  Act as firewall

Allowed traffic http/https,POP3/SMTP,FTP & SonicMQ.



Please help in configuring this system

Well thanks. I've used same natting rule (source natting) in my firewall.



But my external NIC is eth1 NOT eth1 .Any particular reason for using eth0
as external?



Below is my working tables rules.But i can't able to successfully establish
external ftp sites/servers.

i even loaded ip_conntrack_ftp

A little bit to fat...
I use Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 with 2.4.27 on a K5-133
with 64 MB of memory and a 210 MB HDD.

You should upgrade your kernel to 2.4.27 or higher.

You can get better ones like the 3Com 3c509B and the 3c905{B,C}
on <http://www.ebay.com/> but better prices you can get on
<http://www.ebay.de/>.

Upgrading ?

??? I have a transparent proxy, but do nothing with IP tables.

Are you sure, you want this ?

What about:
        man iptables
        netfilter-HOWTO
        NET3-HOWTO
        firewall-HOWTO

        man squid

Why are you using commas ?
And why two ports ?

It should be

PORT 192.168.0.234:21

> 500 Illegal PORT command.

Do you Log-In with a script ?

Re: Linux as router (Gateway Server)

[Askar]

dude add this rule to yur iptables script 
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 --dport 80 -j ACCEPT


second "squid squid[3720]: Squid Parent: child process 3722
exited due to signal 6" is not iptables related, better place to check
is squid mailing list.
You are running squid in interception mode?
remember when squid is running in interception packets destined fro
squid machine not hit FORWARD chain but INPUT. :)

Note: which version of squid you are using, what cache.log say?
solution try to upgrade your squid with never version.

I hope this will help
