Issue related to conntrack while insert new rule with conntrack command in linux

[Mojtaba Esfandiari]

Hello,
I read conntrack document that you wrote about connection tracking. That 
is great.
I have a issue while i am working on it. For example i just want add new 
rule like this:
conntrack -I -p udp -s 192.168.122.242 -d 192.168.122.103 --sport 5070 
--dport 5005 -r 192.168.122.1 -q 192.168.122.103 --reply-port-src 1111 
--reply-port-dst 2222 --timeout 30

But it doen't work.
if i insert these two rule in iptable, the same above rule will insert 
in conntrack table automatically and work correctly.
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p udp -s 192.168.122.242 --dport 
5005 -j DNAT --to 192.168.122.1:1111

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p udp --dport 1111 -j SNAT --to 
192.168.122.103:2222
Who can i solve this problem?
With Best regards

Hello Pablo,
Would you please let me know to make my own libnetfilter_queue
application ? I need a reference to read more about it and start
working on it?

Re: Issue related to conntrack while insert new rule with conntrack command in linux

[Mojtaba]

Thanks Pablo,
Actually i need this feature for redirect  RTP-media packet beetwen
two service. I want to optimize resource consumption by using this
feature.
All things works right, But i should find the right place to insert
this rule in my code, Otherwise if the service got the first packet
from end-point while i don't insert the rule,yet. I will face with
problem, becasue of the rule was inserted before.
Thanks with regards. Mojtaba

You cannot update an existing entry with NATs.

You can probably make your own libnetfilter_queue application that
allows you to create conntrack entries from packets. If you want to do
custom NAT handling some certain traffic. You will only need to pass
the first packet of the flow to userspace to set up the NAT mangling
you need.

I would need to learn more on your usecase for this.

Re: Issue related to conntrack while insert new rule with conntrack command in linux

[Mojtaba]

Hello Pablo,
Just as better understanding, If i want to update using -U option, How
can i do that?
Suppose there is this rule in conntrack row:
udp      17 29 src=192.168.122.242 dst=192.168.122.103 sport=5070
dport=5005 [UNREPLIED] src=192.168.122.103 dst=192.168.122.242
sport=5005 dport
=5070 mark=0 use=1

and i want to update it with this command:
conntrack -U -p udp -s 192.168.122.242 -d 192.168.122.103 --sport 5070
--dport 5005 --dst-nat 192.168.122.1:1111 --src-nat
192.168.122.103:2222 --timeout 30
Actually it was not updated and this issue was raised:
conntrack v1.4.2 (conntrack-tools): 0 flow entries have been updated.

Re: Issue related to conntrack while insert new rule with conntrack command in linux

[Mojtaba]

Yes, it's perfect. I just forgot to enable ip_forwarding right now.
the problem was because of it.
I used this command and it works properly.
conntrack -I -p udp -s 192.168.122.242 -d 192.168.122.103 --sport 5070
--dport 5005 --dst-nat 192.168.122.1:1234 --src-nat
192.168.122.103:2222 --timeout 30

That's great. Thank you so much Pablo.
With best regards

Does this work?

conntrack -I -p udp -s 192.168.122.242 -d 192.168.122.103 --sport 5070 --dport 5005 --dst-nat 192.168.122.1:1234 --timeout 30

Re: Issue related to conntrack while insert new rule with conntrack command in linux

[Mojtaba]

Thanks again, It works correctly now. But how can i set  port 1111? I
have just tried like this command but i don’t work and i don't get any
packets on port 1111 in 192.168.122.1:
conntrack -I -p udp -s 192.168.122.242 -d 192.168.122.103 --sport 5070
--dport 5005 --dst-nat 192.168.122.1:1234 --timeout 30

The packets that i got  on 192.168.122.1 are either port 5070 or port
5005 like below:
23:33:38.520746 IP 192.168.122.242.5070 > 192.168.122.103.5005: UDP, length 12
23:33:38.528807 IP 192.168.122.242.5070 > 192.168.122.103.5005: UDP, length 12

 Actually i would like get packet on 192.168.122.1 on port 1111 like
this. If i set the two rule of iptables in nat table, i could see the
packet on 192.168.122.1 like below,too
23:33:38.528807 IP 192.168.122.103.2222 > 192.168.122.1.1111: UDP, length 12
23:33:38.528807 IP 192.168.122.103.2222 > 192.168.122.1.1111: UDP, length 12

So how can i set --src-nat to 192.168.122.103 and port 2222, too?

Have a look at --dst-nat option, eg.

conntrack -I -p udp -s 192.168.122.242 -d 192.168.122.103 --sport 5070 --dport 5005 --dst-nat 192.168.122.1 --timeout 30

Re: Issue related to conntrack while insert new rule with conntrack command in linux

Hello all
I read man conntrack document guide. That is great.
I have a issue while i am working on it. For example i just want to insert
new rule in conntrack table like this:
conntrack -I -p udp -s 192.168.122.242 -d 192.168.122.103 --sport 5070
--dport 5005 -r 192.168.122.1 -q 192.168.122.103 --reply-port-src 1111
--reply-port-dst 2222 --timeout 30

it successfully inserted but doesn’t work and traffic will be go to INPUT chain.
if i insert these two rules in iptables, the same above rules will be inserted
in conntrack table automatically and works correctly.(the traffic will
be traversed to 192.168.122.1 host)
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p udp -s 192.168.122.242
--dport 5005 -j DNAT --to 192.168.122.1:1111

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p udp --dport 1111 -j SNAT --to
192.168.122.103:2222

Who can i solve this problem?
With Best regards.Mojtaba

Issue related to conntrack while insert new rule with conntrack command in linux

[Mojtaba]

Hello all
I read man conntrack document guide. That is great.
I have a issue while i am working on it. For example i just want add
new rule like this:
conntrack -I -p udp -s 192.168.122.242 -d 192.168.122.103 --sport 5070
--dport 5005 -r 192.168.122.1 -q 192.168.122.103 --reply-port-src 1111
--reply-port-dst 2222 --timeout 30

But it doen't work.
if i insert these two rule in iptable, the same above rule will insert
in conntrack table automatically and work correctly.
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p udp -s 192.168.122.242
--dport 5005 -j DNAT --to 192.168.122.1:1111

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p udp --dport 1111 -j SNAT --to
192.168.122.103:2222
Who can i solve this problem?
