Thomas Eizinger 520dd0aa31 feat(gateway): respond with ICMP error for filtered packets (#9816)
When defining a resource, a Firezone admin can define traffic filters to
only allow traffic on certain TCP and/or UDP ports and/or restrict
traffic on the ICMP protocol.

Presently, when a packet is filtered out on the Gateway, we simply drop
it. Dropping packets means the sending application can only react to
timeouts and has no other means on error handling. ICMP was conceived to
deal with these kind of situations. In particular, the "destination
unreachable" type has a dedicated code for filtered packets:
"Communication administratively prohibited".

Instead of just dropping the not-allowed packet, we now send back an
ICMP error with this particular code set, thus informing the sending
application that the packet did not get lost but was in fact not routed
for policy reasons.

When setting a traffic filter that does not allow TCP traffic,
attempting to `curl` such a resource now results in the following:

```

This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.

Getting Started

First, install dependencies and populate the timestamps.json file:

pnpm setup

Next, create files .env.local and .env.development.local in this directory.

Put this in .env.local:

NEXT_PUBLIC_MIXPANEL_TOKEN=""
NEXT_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ID=""
NEXT_PUBLIC_LINKEDIN_PARTNER_ID=""
FIREZONE_DEPLOYED_SHA=""

And this in .env.development.local:

# Created by Vercel CLI
EDGE_CONFIG=""
FIREZONE_DEPLOYED_SHA=""
SITE_URL=""
VERCEL_DEEP_CLONE=""

After that, make sure to contact the team for their values.

Then, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

Linting

This project uses Prettier to format code and ensure a consistent style. Use the .prettierrc.json in the root of this repo to configure your editor.
