Problem using transparent proxy and iptables 1.3.1

Problem using transparent proxy and iptables 1.3.1

[Rafael Vallejo]

Hello list

I'm having a problem with iptables, we recently instaled version 1.3.1 
on a Linux Kernel 2.6.10


This rule that used to work on former versions of iptables no longer 
work on 1.3.1

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT 
--to-ports 3128


Any ideas?

Subnets: Make Static Route or Iptables Rules

[Mike]

I have a linux routerbox with 3 nics.:  

ppp0 goes to the internet service provider
eth1 serves as gateway to a subnet
eth2 serves as gateway to another subnet

I want LAN clients from subnet eth2 to be able to access a Samba
Server box located on subnet eth1

I have tried making a static route using --- route -n add
<destination> <gateway>   but all I get no matter what I try is:  
SIOCADDRT: No such device

Here's my route -n

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
204.60.4.34     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
64.204.68.128   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.248 U     0      0        0 eth0
192.168.170.0   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth2
192.168.169.0   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
127.0.0.0       127.0.0.1       255.0.0.0       UG    0      0        0 lo
0.0.0.0         204.60.4.34     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 ppp0

As a result of trying out a few extra iptables rules, I can now ping
the eth1 gateway from the eth2 subnet clients, but I still cannot
ping/reach the Samba server box on the eth1 subnet.

Here's the rules I've added in hopes of making a proper path from
subnet eth2 to eth1:

$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth1 --source
192.168.170.0/24 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.169.2
$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -i eth1 --source
192.168.170.0/24 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.169.2

and

$IPTABLES -t filter -A INPUT -i eth1 --source 192.168.170.0/24 -j ACCEPT

and

$IPTABLES -t filter -A FORWARD -i eth1 --source 192.168.170.0/24 -j ACCEPT

Again, to be clear, clients on subnet eth2 can ping the gateway nic
(eth1), but cannot ping the samba box located on subnet eth1.

If I can just ping that box, I can config Samba the rest of the way.

So I'm not sure if what I need for this is to create a static route,
or whether iptables rules are all I need.

Thank you for your time and patience in reading this post.

Regards,

Mike

I was bitten by something similar a few months ago trying to block dhcp
through a transparent bridge (I needed to use a different dhcp server on
one side).  I used ebtables instead to fix my problem.

I was just doing allow/deny stuff though.  Ebtables has a redirect
option also, but it pertains to mac addresses.  Maybe you could do
something with marking, to make ebtables work in conjunction with
iptables??

Re: Subnets: Make Static Route or Iptables Rules

[Eduardo Spremolla]

You need to allow forwarding in both directions:
$IPTABLES -t filter -A FORWARD -i eth1 --source 192.168.169.0/24 -j
ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -t filter -A FORWARD -i eth2 --source 192.168.170.0/24 -j
ACCEPT

The prerouting Dnat is not required, be sure not to nat eth1 to eth2
traffic.

Re: Subnets: Make Static Route or Iptables Rules

[Mike]

Eduardo, 

Thank you for the reply.
I'm wondering if your example should be reversed like this:

$IPTABLES -t filter -A FORWARD -i eth2 --source 192.168.169.0/24 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -t filter -A FORWARD -i eth1 --source 192.168.170.0/24 -j ACCEPT

Hmm, I've tried both ways, and something is still wrong.
I can ping 192.168.170.5 ---> 192.168.169.1
But I cannot ping 192.168.170.5  ---> 192.168.169.2 (the Samba box,
iptables off so no firewall issues).

This is very strange.

Please reply if you have a moment; I can post my whole iptables setup
from the routerbox if that is helpful.

Best regards,

Mike
