Thomas Eizinger e9e8792512 feat(connlib): tune down logs for recently disconnected clients (#10501)
When a Client disconnects from a Gateway, we might still be receiving
packets that are either in-flight or are still being sent by the
resource. For some amount of time after a disconnect, this is expected
and not worth logging a warning for.

With this PR, we define this time to be 60s. If we cannot look up a
connection either by ID, session index or public key but the peer has
disconnected within the last 60s, we will now only print a DEBUG log
instead of a WARN.

Resolves: #10175

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=$(head -c 32 /dev/urandom | sha256sum | cut -d' ' -f1). The Gateway requires this variable at startup. We recommend this to be a 64 character hex string.
  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.
