Currently, only connlib's UDP sockets for sending and receiving STUN & WireGuard traffic are protected from routing loops. This is was done via the `Sockets::with_protect` function. Connlib has additional sockets though: - A TCP socket to the portal. - UDP & TCP sockets for DNS resolution via hickory. Both of these can incur routing loops on certain platforms which becomes evident as we try to implement #2667. To fix this, we generalise the idea of "protecting" a socket via a `SocketFactory` abstraction. By allowing the different platforms to provide a specialised `SocketFactory`, anything Linux-based can give special treatment to the socket before handing it to connlib. As an additional benefit, this allows us to remove the `Sockets` abstraction from connlib's API again because we can now initialise it internally via the provided `SocketFactory` for UDP sockets. --------- Signed-off-by: Gabi <gabrielalejandro7@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Thomas Eizinger <thomas@eizinger.io>
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:
- Generate a new Gateway token from the "Gateways" section of the admin portal and save it in your secrets manager.
- Ensure the
FIREZONE_TOKEN=<gateway_token>environment variable is set securely in your Gateway's shell environment. The Gateway requires this variable at startup. - Set
FIREZONE_IDto a unique string to identify this gateway in the portal, e.g.export FIREZONE_ID=$(uuidgen). The Gateway requires this variable at startup. - 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.
