At the moment, the mapping of proxy IPs to the resolved IPs of a DNS resource happens at the same time as the "authorisation" that the client is allowed to talk to that resource. This is somewhat convoluted because: - Mapping proxy IPs to resolved IPs only needs to happen for DNS resources, yet it is called for all resources (and internally skipped). - Wildcard DNS resources only need to be authorised once, after which the client is allowed to communicate with any domain matching the wildcard address. - The code that models resources within `ClientOnGateway` doesn't differentiate between resource types at all. With #6461, the authorisation of a resource will be completely decoupled from the domain resolution for a particular domain of a DNS resource. To make that easier to implement, we re-model the internals of `ClientOnGateway` to differentiate the various resource types. Instead of holding a single vec of addresses, the IPs are now indexed by the respective domain. For CIDR resources, we only hold a single address anyway and for the Internet Resource, the IP networks are static. This new model now implies that allowing a resource that has already been allowed essentially implies an update and the filters get re-calculated.
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.
2024-04-01T18:25:47.237661392Z INFO started log
2024-04-01T18:25:47.238193266Z INFO GIT_VERSION = 1.0.0-pre.11-35-gcc0d43531
2024-04-01T18:25:48.295243016Z INFO No token / actor_name on disk, starting in signed-out state
2024-04-01T18:25:48.295360641Z INFO null
Benchmarking on Linux
The recommended way for benchmarking any of the Rust components is Linux' perf utility.
For example, to attach to a running application, do:
- Ensure the binary you are profiling is compiled with the
benchprofile. sudo perf perf record -g --freq 10000 --pid $(pgrep <your-binary>).- Run the speed test or whatever load-inducing task you want to measure.
sudo perf script > profile.perf- Open profiler.firefox.com and load
profile.perf
Instead of attaching to a process with --pid, you can also specify the path to executable directly.
That is useful if you want to capture perf data for a test or a micro-benchmark.
