Thomas Eizinger 578363a7fe refactor(ip-packet): introduce etherparse (#6524)
This PR introduces the `etherparse` dependency for parsing and
generating IP packets.

Using `etherparse`, we can implement the NAT46 & NAT64 implementations
for the gateway more elegantly because it allows us to parse the IP and
protocol headers into a static and much richer representation. The
conversion to the IPv4/IPv6 equivalent is then just a question of
transforming one data structure into another and writing it to the
correct place in the buffer.

We extract this functionality into dedicated `nat64` and `nat46`
modules.

Furthermore, we implement the various functions in `ip_packet::make`
using `etherparse` too. Following that, we also overhaul the NAT
translation tests that we have in `ip_packet::proptests`. Those now use
the more low-level `consume_to_ipX` APIs which makes the tests more
ergonomic to write.

In the future, we should upstream `Ipv4HeaderSliceMut` and
`Ipv6HeaderSliceMut` to `etherparse`.

Moving all of this functionality to `etherparse` will make it easier to
write tests that involve more IP packets as well as customise the
behaviour of our NAT.

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.

2024-04-01T18:25:47.238193266Z INFO GIT_VERSION = 1.0.0-pre.11-35-gcc0d43531
