TURN channels have a 5 minute cooldown period after they expire where they cannot be rebound to another peer but can be refreshed and thus "reactivated". To stop routing packets when the channel expires, we remove it from the channel map of the eBPF code. The client however knows that it still has a channel that it can reactivate for another 5min. In case it chooses to do so, we refresh the channel in userspace but until now, forget to re-populate the eBPF map. This effectively blocks this communication path from working because the relay reports the channel from being refreshed successfully, yet the new eBPF kernel drops all packets without a map entry.
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

2024-04-01T18:25:48.295360641Z 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
releaseprofile. sudo 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.
