In a previous design of firezone, relays used to be scoped to a certain connection. For a while now, this constraint has been lifted and all connections can use all relays. A related, outdated concern is the idea of STUN-only servers. Those also used to be assigned on a per-connection basis. By removing any use of per-connection relays and STUN-only servers, the entire `StunBinding` concept is unused code and can thus be deleted. To push this over the finish line, the `snownet-tests` which test the hole-punching functionality needed to be slightly adapted to make use of the more recently introduced API `Node::update_relays`. Resolves: #4749.
gateway
This crate houses the Firezone gateway.
Building
You can build the gateway using: cargo build --release --bin firezone-gateway
You should then find a binary in target/release/firezone-gateway.
Running
The Firezone Gateway supports Linux only. To run the Gateway binary on your Linux host:
- Generate a new Gateway token from the "Gateways" section of the admin portal and save it in your secrets manager.
- Ensure the
FIREZONE_TOKEN=<gateway_token>environment variable is set securely in your Gateway's shell environment. The Gateway requires this variable at startup. - Set
FIREZONE_IDto a unique string to identify this gateway in the portal, e.g.export FIREZONE_ID=$(uuidgen). The Gateway requires this variable at startup. - Now, you can start the Gateway with:
firezone-gateway
If you're running as a non-root user, you'll need the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability
to open /dev/net/tun. You can add this to the gateway binary with:
sudo setcap 'cap_net_admin+eip' /path/to/firezone-gateway
Ports
The gateway requires no open ports. Connections automatically traverse NAT with STUN/TURN via the relay.
