Currently, the gateway requires a strict ordering of first receiving a `request_connection` message, following by multiple `allow_access` messages. Additionally, access can be granted as part of the initial `request_connection` message too. This isn't an ideal design. Setting up a new connection is infallible, all we need to do is send our ICE credentials back to the client. However, untangling that will require a bit more effort. Starting with #6335, following this strict order on the client is a more difficult. Whilst we can send them in order, it is harder to maintain those ordering guarantees across all our systems. To avoid this, we change the gateway to perform an upsert for its local ACLs for a client. In case that an `allow_access` call would somehow get to the gateway earlier, we can simply already create the `Peer` and only set up the actual connection later. --------- Signed-off-by: Jamil <jamilbk@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Jamil <jamilbk@users.noreply.github.com>
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.
