Jamil 2bca378f17 Allow data plane configuration at runtime (#2477)
## Changelog

- Updates connlib parameter API_URL (formerly known under different
names as `CONTROL_PLANE_URL`, `PORTAL_URL`, `PORTAL_WS_URL`, and
friends) to be configured as an "advanced" or "hidden" feature at
runtime so that we can test production builds on both staging and
production.
- Makes `AUTH_BASE_URL` configurable at runtime too
- Moves `CONNLIB_LOG_FILTER_STRING` to be configured like this as well
and simplifies its naming
- Fixes a timing attack bug on Android when comparing the `csrf` token
- Adds proper account ID validation to Android to prevent invalid URL
parameter strings from being saved and used
- Cleans up a number of UI / view issues on Android regarding typos,
consistency, etc
- Hides vars from from the `relay` CLI we may not want to expose just
yet
- `get_device_id()` is flawed for connlib components -- SMBios is rarely
available. Data plane components now require a `FIREZONE_ID` now instead
to use for upserting.


Fixes #2482 
Fixes #2471

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:

  1. Generate a new Gateway token from the "Gateways" section of the admin portal and save it in your secrets manager.
  2. Ensure the FIREZONE_TOKEN=<gateway_token> environment variable is set securely in your Gateway's shell environment. The Gateway requires this variable at startup.
  3. Set FIREZONE_ID to a unique string to identify this gateway in the portal, e.g. export FIREZONE_ID=$(uuidgen). The Gateway requires this variable at startup.
  4. 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.
