Network2/Experiments/OpenWRT

Installed OpenWRT.

Found that I could no longer ping my IP address from crank.

Examined firewall:

iptables -t mangle -L

Good, no mangling.

iptables -t nat -L

Some NAT, but just a couple of MASQUERADE rules.

iptables -t filter -L

Lots of filtering. In more detail:

iptables -t filter -L INPUT

Some complicated chains:

• syn_flood rate-limits TCP connection control packets.
• input_rule is empty
• input has subchains for zone_wan and zone_lan.
• zone_lan accepts everything.
• zone_wan rejects everything not accepted by input_wan.

Okay, let's add an accept rule to input_wan:

iptables -t filter -A input_wan -p icmp -j ACCEPT

Alternately, add:

config 'rule'
        option 'target' 'ACCEPT'
        option '_name' 'ping'
        option 'src' 'wan'
        option 'proto' 'icmp'

to /etc/config/firewall (or to /etc/firewall.user?)

radvd

Note that the prefix here that we want to advertise is called the 'routed /64' by tunnelbroker.
