I set off on the journey to set up DNS as correctly as I could. After reading through a lot of stuff, here are my findings:
This example server will have on IP, and will run a web server, and an email server.
This is more of a setup dump than tutorial, but might point someone in the right direction...

Prequisites:

First, create an A (AAAA for ipv6 ) record for the domain :

Code:

example.net. 1800 IN A 127.0.0.1

Basic explanation of the entry

example.net.

nftables NAT

Finally getting around to writing the continuation of this howto. Now lets take a look at a basic router firewall.
Basic ruleset configuration is described here.
This ruleset only sets up ipv4 nating, no filtering is set up (that will be covered later)
The following is an nft configuration file. To be loaded with nft -f.

Code:

define if_wan = eth0
table ip filter {
        map tcp_nat_map {type inet_service : ipv4_addr;}
        map udp_nat_map

systemd 219 && systemd-networkd changes

Posted 02-22-2015 at 07:45 AM by serafean

Tags systemd

The recent update to systemd sent it to version 219. Per the changelog, .network files gained two new configuration values

Code:

IPForward
IPMasquerade

After the upgrade, my Gentoo box stopped routing packets to the internet. NAT was setup correctly, so the issue couldn't be there.

It appears that systemd by default sets the forwarding sysctl of each interface to 0. In order for packets to be forwarded, this must be set to 1. /etc/sysctl.conf was of no help.

nftables series - part 1 - baby steps

Nftables introduction

I assume a kernel >=3.18 and nft >= 0.4.

I decided to try out nftables, the would-be iptables successor on my home router/server PC.
As a basic guide I used this guide and the pretty good basic documentation on wiki.nftables.org.

Nft comes with a completely empty ruleset. Meaning no predefined tables, chains or rules.
You as a user create tables, populate those with chains (which hook into kernel netfilter hooks)...
