Hi,

I am facing a strange problem i have 4 Machines behind the clearos Firewall, out of 4, three are able to ping and able to access repository server which placed at tokyo (Cloud provider mapped it locally, hence it is accessible with local nic), but one machine is not able to communicate with it. my setup looks like below

---->Clearos ------>eno1 -----> all machines
------>eno2

eno1 = local
eno2 = Public

As the setup is placed in cloud, all the traffic by default passing from eno1 through their internal routing, but public access and communication not possible without public ip.
There is no firewall enabled in internal machine, hence routing is same for all machines (gateway is firewall eno1 nic)
After consulting with the cloud provider they ask to allow some subnets as per their pre-requisites which i have allowed by putting in custom-firewall rule as below:

$IPTABLES -I FORWARD -s PublicCloudSubnet -d LocalLansubnet -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -I FORWARD -d PublicCloudSubnet -s LocalLansubnet -j ACCEPT

But still it is not working, if i remove that machine from the firewall it start accessing the repository server

Could you please help?

    I understand that you may want the port forwarding rules in place, but all I am asking is that you do a quick test by removing the rules and seeing if you can then access your repo. Add the port forwarding rules straight after your test.

    The rules you've proposed will do nothing on their own. The first one should never do anything as no traffic should ever appear on your WAN carrying a LAN destination IP. It will only carry your WAN IP or it won't know how to find you. The second rule will always work and is unnecessary as the traffic is allowed by default.

    I am struggling a bit with your set up because it defies normality as it involves routing private IP addresses over the internet which does not normally work. "ping 10.3.65.129" should never work via the internet unless it is within your ISP and, even then, it is questionable.

    Can you give a network diagram between your LAN and your repo LAN detailing the IP's and subnets?

    Actually I need that port-forwarding rules, so i can access the LAN machine because my infra is at Cloud and their is no way to access the machine without the firewall public ip
    what i suspecting --- the repo is only accessible via local LAN of firewall.
    By default LAN machines forwarding traffic from local Nic to Public Nic, for particular server if we can move traffic of repo access from Local Nic to Local Nic then I believe it solves the problem, but I don't know how to do that.
    If you see the last output, from app002 machine it sending packets to Firewall Local nic and then traffic moves to public gateway. But for nginxmul this is not happening as it only sending packets to firewall and then it didn't find the gateway to move the traffic.

    I have a discussion with cloud provider they have given some series of IP subnets, and asked to open up in firewall. Could you please confirm if i will apply the below rule will it open the traffic or I need to do something else
    $IPTABLES -I FORWARD -s PublicCloudSubnet -d LocalLansubnet -j ACCEPT
    $IPTABLES -I FORWARD -d PublicCloudSubnet -s LocalLansubnet -j ACCEPT

    It is a strange set up that you have. You should not be able to route to a 10.x.y.z address via a public IP unless the private IP exists within the public IP's LAN and even then you should not really be able to.

    When you do port forwarding, there are a couple of PREROUTING and POSTROUTING rules which are added as well as a FORWARD rule. I am wondering if one of these is interfering. Can you try to remove the port forwarding for the moment?

    I don't think it is effect, as I mapped it from firewall itself, also my repo is only accessible from local NIC = eno1 of firewall having ip 10.162.34.249 and their is no Ipsec tunnel required for that

    below are the trace-path info from firewall, the machine having issue and other machine in the same LAN

    A quick idea. You are also port forwarding 80 and 443 to 10.162.34.212. If you remove the port forwards does your repo then work?

    Your repo is using a private IP address. Is it at the other end of your IPsec VPN tunnel? If not, what is the route to it?

    Unless you have changed the default policy of the Egress firewall to "block all, specify allowed destinations" then those rules should not be needed. the default is to allow all traffic out and all return traffic back in.

    What is the result of:
    iptables -nvL
    iptables -nvL -t nat
    And please put the results between "code tags" (the piece of paper icon with <> on it)

    What is the LAN IP of the machine being blocked?
