[LARTC] Layer 7 packet classifier doesn't recognize packets sent by the router

[LARTC] Layer 7 packet classifier doesn't recognize packets sent by the router

[FB]

Hi there,

I have a little problem. I had this some months ago but didn't solve it 
back then. I have patched my kernel with Layer 7 support and patched my 
iptables to support it, too.
Now I inserted this line in my firewall script on my router for testing 
purpose:

  $IPTABLES -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o $INET_IFACE -p tcp -m layer7 
--l7proto http -j DROP

It works, BUT only if the connection is established by a pc BEHIND the 
router (the connection is blocked). If I try to establish a http 
connection from the router itself it works completely (layer 7 is NOT 
working, the connection is working, thats what I wanted to say *g*.
Now I changed the line above to this:

  $IPTABLES -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o $INET_IFACE -p tcp --dport 80 -j 
DROP

and see, it works in BOTH cases. But thats no solution as I need Layer 7 
also for router-connections. I also tried ftp als layer7 protocol, same 
thing.

Anyone has an idea why this is happening?

Thanks in advance.

Try this
iptables -t mangle -N local

iptablts -t mangle -A INPUT -i $INET_IFACE -j local
iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -o $INET_IFACE -j local

iptables -t mangle -A local -p tcp -m layer7 --l7proto http -j DROP

I only think it may work, i say this because local packets are passing
INPUT and OUTPUT, while routed packets will always pass POSTROUTING
(and l7-filter need to make a match both ways: incoming and outgoing
packets)

Thanks!

Now it works :)

But I have another little problem: I need 2(3) different chains (one for 
traffic only from the router (done by this chain), one for the complete 
traffic generatet from router AND computers behind the router and one 
for connections only established from computers behind the router).

Any ideas how to accomplish that?
