Thomas Eizinger 20cfcac7da test(connlib): don't route packets from IPs other than the client's (#5161)
Currently, the gateway has a piece of functionality to ensure we only
ever route packets that actually originate from the client. This is
important because a gateway connects to multiple clients and thus -
without this check - client A could send a packet through the tunnel
that gets interpreted as traffic from client B by mangling the source IP
of their packets.

The portal assigns these source IPs when the clients sign in and passes
them to the gateway whenever a client connects. We can thus drop all
traffic on the gateway side from IPs that we don't recognise.

Currently, a client will still trigger a connection intent for an IP
packet, even if it doesn't have the tunnel's source IP set. We may want
to consider changing this behaviour in the future.

Rust development guide

Firezone uses Rust for all data plane components. This directory contains the Linux and Windows clients, and low-level networking implementations related to STUN/TURN.

We target the last stable release of Rust using rust-toolchain.toml. If you are using rustup, that is automatically handled for you. Otherwise, ensure you have the latest stable version of Rust installed.

Reading Client logs

The Client logs are written as JSONL for machine-readability.

To make them more human-friendly, pipe them through jq like this:

cd path/to/logs  # e.g. `$HOME/.cache/dev.firezone.client/data/logs` on Linux
cat *.log | jq -r '"\(.time) \(.severity) \(.message)"'

Resulting in, e.g.
