Firewalls and VPN/IPSec

General information

ECTS: 4

Lecturer: Lauri Võsandi


Scenario

In this course we will attempt to set up a network similar to a corporate network with multiple offices, eg http://docplayer.it/docs-images/20/596222/images/25-0.png

We will use VPN software to connect subnets to each other and we will use VPN software to connect our personal computers to the intranet.


Setting up virtual machine hosts

For this course we have 3 Sun servers, each with 16GB of RAM. In each server we should be able to create 3 or more virtual machines. As host operating system we will install Ubuntu 16.04 server. On disks set up ext4 on mdraid set up in RAID1 configuration.

For virtualization let's use libvirt and virt-manager on your Ubuntu laptops, for Windows and Mac unfortunately there is no decent UI available instead installing web interface such as Kimchi is recommended.

To install libvirt on the server: 

 apt install libvirt-bin qemu-kvm

Also add the primary user to the libvirt group: 

 sudo gpasswd -a $USER libvirt

On your laptop first set up SSH keys between the laptop and server with ssh-keygen and ssh-copy-id. And then you can install virt-manager with: 

 sudo apt install virt-manager

Copy CD ISO files into /var/lib/libvirt/images using scp or FileZilla.

Continue with creating a virtual machine for each service. For Windows 2012 server virtual machines use 2G of RAM and 50G of storage. For Ubuntu 16.04 server installations use 1G of memory and 50G storage. For Ubuntu 16.04 MATE desktop installations use 2G of RAM.


In order to set up virtual switch inside the server use Linux's built-in bridges, start with installing bridge-utils: 

 apt install bridge-utils

Reconfigure your server's /etc/network/interfaces, replace X with number relevant to your server. Also replace eth0, eth1 and eth2 with the network interfaces available in your machine: 

 # The loopback network interface
 auto lo
 iface lo inet loopback
 
 # Wide area network interface
 auto br-wan
 iface br-wan inet dhcp
   # Until we set up router in a VM we will use DHCP so we can have internet access in 417
   bridge_ports eth0
 
 # Local area network interface
 auto br-lan
 iface br-lan inet static
   address 172.16.X.1
   netmask 255.255.255.0
   bridge_ports eth1
 
 # Management interface
 auto eth2
 iface eth2 inet static
   address 192.168.12.1X
   netmask 255.255.255.0

When creating virtual machines, configure network as shown in the screenshot below:

This way your VM-s should be able to access the Internet as the physical machine can

Setting up router

On Wednesday 14. September we will configure OpenWrt as a router in a virtual machine. Download the OpenWrt image and uncompress it: 

 cd /var/lib/libvirt/images/
 wget https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05-rc3/x86/kvm_guest/openwrt-15.05-rc3-x86-kvm_guest-combined-ext4.img.gz
 gunzip openwrt-15.05.1-x86-kvm_guest-combined-ext4.img.gz

Add second network interface to your router's VM. Configure first NIC as connected to br-wan and second one connected to br-lan.

After that you should end up with topology similar to this:

To clarify: 'srv1.office' and 'srv2.office' are the Ubuntu 16.04 servers, you should have configured static IP addresses or set a static lease from the router. The 'router.office' refers to the OpenWrt router you just set up. The router serves IP addresses using DHCP to 'ubuntu-mate.office' Ubuntu MATE 16.04 workstation and 'windows.office' refers to Windows workstation. Your physical server 'host.office' can be accessed as well. The 'office' throughout the diagram refers to your domain name, use abbrevations such as hq, rnd, devops for that.


Domain names

Arti will be your DNS registrar (like Godaddy or Zone.ee). Currently added DNS records: 

 www.biz.wut.ee - 193.40.194.160 for Wut Incorporated website
 gw.biz.wut.ee - 193.40.194.160 for OpenVPN gateway
 wiki.biz.wut.ee - 193.40.194.161 for Wut Inc internal wiki
 git.biz.wut.ee - 193.40.194.161 for Wut Inc source code hosting
 paste.biz.wut.ee - 193.40.194.161 for Wut Inc code snippets
 chat.biz.wut.ee - 193.40.194.162 for Wut Inc IRC chatroom
 pad.biz.wut.ee - 193.40.194.162 for Wut Inc etherpad
 ca.biz.wut.ee - 193.40.194.162 for Wut Inc certificate authority web endpoint
 mail.biz.wut.ee - 193.40.194.162 for MX entry of biz.wut.ee

(Re)configure your services to make use of these DNS records.

Monitoring

Use this **only** on the physical hosts.

You can (ab)use Lauri's collectd at http://log.koodur.com/cgp

Install packages: 

 apt install collectd

Reconfigure service in /etc/collectd/collectd.conf: 

 FQDNLookup true
 LoadPlugin syslog
 LoadPlugin cpu
 LoadPlugin df
 LoadPlugin disk
 LoadPlugin interface
 LoadPlugin load
 LoadPlugin memory
 LoadPlugin network
 LoadPlugin processes
 LoadPlugin swap
 LoadPlugin uptime
 LoadPlugin users
 LoadPlugin dns
 LoadPlugin ping
 LoadPlugin sensors
 
 <Plugin df>
 	FSType rootfs
 	FSType sysfs
 	FSType proc
 	FSType devtmpfs
 	FSType devpts
 	FSType tmpfs
 	FSType fusectl
 	FSType cgroup
 	IgnoreSelected true
 </Plugin>
 
 <Plugin disk>
 	Disk "/[sv]d[a-z]/"
 </Plugin>
  
 <Include "/etc/collectd/collectd.conf.d">
 	Filter "*.conf"
 </Include>
 
 <Plugin network>
   Server "185.94.112.74"
 </Plugin>

Examples

Port forwarding example, we have 2 linux virtual machines, one forwarding to host local ip.

Network interface example file: 

 auto lo
 iface lo inet loopback
 
 # Wide area network interface (port 0)
 auto br-wan
 iface br-wan inet manual
   bridge_ports enp6s4f0
 
 # Local area network interface (port 3)
 auto br-lan
 iface br-lan inet static
   address 172.16.2.1
   gateway 172.16.2.254
   dns-nameserver 172.16.2.254
   netmask 255.255.255.0
   bridge_ports enp0s8
 
 # Management interface (port 1)
 auto enp6s4f1
 iface enp6s4f1 inet static
   address 192.168.12.11
   netmask 255.255.255.0

Openwrt interface file working example /etc/config/network: 

 config interface 'lan'
       option ifname 'eth0'
       option type 'bridge'
       option proto 'static'
       option netmask '255.255.255.0'
       option ip6assign '60'
       option ipaddr '172.16.2.254'
 
 config interface 'wan'
       option ifname 'eth1'
       option proto 'static'
       option ipaddr '193.40.194.161'
       option gateway '193.40.194.220'
       option netmask '255.255.255.0'
       option dns '192.40.0.12 193.40.56.245'


To create poor man's vpn. Install on your computer 

 apt install sshuttle

and connection. 

 sshuttle --dns -HNvr username@server:port

no you should be able to connect local network computers and services. NB! ping is not working with sshuttle you can read more here http://teohm.com/blog/using-sshuttle-in-daily-work/
