Subject: Wrong remote IP, bug or feature?
Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2013 10:08:38 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5247FC26.8040200@perfect-privacy.com> (raw)

Hi,
I have set remoteip in the pppd.conf to an 10.x.x.x  range, i would 
expect that users get an IP in this range from the server.
However, some users misconfigurations set the remoteip to a 192.x.x IP 
given by the user. So my ip-up and ip-down scripts on the server gets 
called with a user given, wrong, 192.x.x. IP, and not the server 
provided 10.x.x.x
Should a user be allowed to do this or is this a bug? If yes, can i 
block users from providing their own IPs?
As the ip-up and ip-down scripts set per-user firewall rules, it is 
quite a security issue if a user has the possibility to provide an IP of 
his choice, rather than the IP that is given to him by the server.

Thanks in advance

Lars
