Hi Forum,
I herewith more or less revisit a problem that I have sought help about before (Failing (again) to get IPv6 working with PBR). To summarise, at the time my trials to have a policy route the traffic generated by my laptop both over IPv4 and IPv6 to a VPN server other than the one that acted as my default gateway, consistently failed. Thanks to the help of @egc I finally got things sorted out, and for some time I was able to let my laptop connect to a different server than my desktops which were not subject to my policy.
Things changed when I updated the pbr and luci-app-pbr packages from version 1.1.1-7 to the next. Now I not only noted the highly erratic behaviour of the policy routing tab under ‘Services' in LuCi that others have reported about as well (on which I’ll come back in a separate thread), I also couldn’t get my policy to work anymore, whatever I tried. I more or less gave up on the pbr package at the time, made the VPN server my laptop is supposed to connect to my default gateway, and sort of called it quits. Thereafter, however, I also began to run into trouble with the sinking ship that was my VPN provider (Perfect Privacy), which finally led me to switch this week to AirVPN. Now again being on a stable VPN, I decided to reinstall pbr and luci-app-pbr again, and see whether I could make things behave like I want.
Unfortunately, I cannot. While assigning a default gateway seems to work, resulting in traffic generated by both my desktops being routed through the chosen server (both over IPv4 and IPv6), the policy that I created based on the MAC address of my laptop, and which is meant to route the latter’s traffic through a different server, simply doesn’t do anything; traffic from my laptop also consistently runs through my default gateway (both over IPv4 and IPv6, that is).
Please note that even while this screenshot shows pbr is running in 'fw4 nft file mode', in /etc/config/pbr the option enabled consistently shows as set to '0' (for which see the contents of this file at the end), which may well be the result of the erratic behaviour of the UI of luci-app-pbr package as referred to above. Setting it manually to '1' in Terminal doesn't solve my problem, however.
As per the advice of @egc, given in thread 204457, I amended AirVPN’s OpenVPN configuration script for what is meant to be my default gateway (‘the Netherlands’) with the following lines:
redirect-gateway def1redirect-gateway ipv6server-poll-timeout 10
whereas the following lines were added to AirVPN’s OpenVPN configuration scripts of all other VPN servers, and hence the server (‘Sweden’) traffic from my laptop is meant being routed through:
pull-filter ignore “redirect-gateway"pull-filter ignore "redirect-gateway ipv6”
Like said, while still on pbr version 1.1.1-7 this configuration worked, but now, while on version 1.1.7-59, it doesn’t. I haven’t got a clue as to why, and I am therefore warmly welcoming any suggestions that could help me to make my routing policy work .
To enable you to analyse my current setup, the following output. In case any additional information is needed, feel free to let me know.
