I have a custom anchor for my port redirects (port 80 to mehserve), but once corectld is running those rules disappear.

I have a script to print PF rules: https://gist.github.com/vitaly/cd0024d232a3a134b00e5496e4e779b8

here is the output w/o corectld: https://gist.github.com/vitaly/10b9f4cd467370c226daf78424f02816
here is the output with corectld: https://gist.github.com/vitaly/b40d230cc72b88fbcb7c1ade87a12163

The difference is this:

Note that not only my 'custom' anchors are skipped but the default apple ones as well.

I don't know go, so I'd rather not try to change the code (for now ;)). but I think I do know what needs to be done in terms of PF.

right now it does pfctl -F pfC_file which in turn loads pfR_file. pfC declares 2 anchors: corectl-dns-forwarding, and com.apple.internet-sharing, and then loads corectl-dns-forwarding from pfR. The problem is that it clears the default "root" config (e.g. all com.apple/* anchors).

but default config already uses rdr rules from com.apple/*, so instead we can just load pfR directly into this namespace:

pfctl -a com.apple/corectl-dns-forwarding -f pfR_file

and to remove it:

pfctl -a com.apple/corectl-dns-forwarding -Fa

It'a a bug, my fault - you're spot on. I' m on the road ATM, will fix it tomorrow. And many, many thanks!

@AntonioMeireles it looks like kube-solo also messes up with it. Not sure if directly or through corectl though.

Hi again, could you please fetch latest tip, built it, and confirm that it fixes this for you ?
Thanks in advance!

@AntonioMeireles please see my comment on #106

couldn't build it, not a golang user.

OK, so I finally got it to compile using hints from /Applications/corectl.app/Contents/Resources/get_go_binaries/corectl_compile_from_source_corectl.sh

DNS port configuration seems to be working, but PF rules are still messed up. Actually it seems to be worse, as I can't even connect outside from a VM.

Note: I'm again using my pf rules dump script, as it produces a much shorter output and much easier to diff. You can see the script here: https://gist.github.com/vitaly/cd0024d232a3a134b00e5496e4e779b8

Note the weird anchors: com.apple/corectl-dns-forwarding/com.apple.internet-sharing, and com.apple/corectl-dns-forwarding/corectl-dns-forwarding.

Once you properly nest your rules inside com.apple/*, there is no need to declare the anchors, just the rules.

Since at this stage you don't yet add any commands, I think instead of adding nat-anchor and rdr-anchor you only need to reset them (Also note the renamed internet-sharing anchor to properly nest it inside com.apple/):

sudo pfctl -a com.apple/corectl-dns-forwarding -Fa
sudo pfctl -a com.apple/internet-sharing -Fa

But at least at this point my mehserve is still working.

Now, here is how it looks once I run a VM with it:

Seems like it is rewriting the global scope again, which is not needed if you just nest the rules inside com.apple/.

At this stage when I corectl ssh into the VM I can't even ping 8.8.8.8, where previously I could ping it, just couldn't resolve any hostnames (due to DNS port conflict, the forwarding was working)

Note that the DNS rules are missing now. I tried adding them, but it didn't help (din't expect it to, it has nothing to do with ping)

I tried to mess with the rules for a while, but couldn't get it to work, so I reverted to the old version for now.

just tried the latest tip.

result:

  • DNS and ping work from inside VM
  • my port redirection doesn't ;(

PF dumps: https://gist.github.com/vitaly/fc0cb6986a2a3d92fb86b2239c8cf1cf

Looking at the current corectl pf config, I see that it was done outside of 'com.apple' on purpose ;). and, to my untrained eye it actually looks OK vs breaking other rules. i.e. I can't see how it can break my redirect, but it does ;(. On the other hand I also don't understand how your corectld-forwarding-dns anchor works. it is not referenced from root or any other anchors (btw, can you please explain this? ;)). it clearly does work though, because I do have DNS inside the VM, but I really can't figure out how it manages to do that. which means I have no idea how this PF thing actually works ;)

I think I already mentioned this, but it might be worth pointing out again.

My redirect still works once corectld is started and stops working as soon as I run any VM

BUT

it still doesn't work even after I stop VM and corectd, even though PF dump looks exactly like before corectld was started

only once I run sudo pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf it starts working again, but I can not detect any difference in PF config before and after I do that. The only idea that I have is that its some kind of transient state that is getting cleared when I re–run the root scope config.

Hopefully this helps ... ;)

interesting... can you paste your exact redirect rules and how you are loading them please... (and once again MANY thanks for your patience!)

Pinging as I have a similar problem. corectl and sshuttle also don't get along so well.

@vitaly and @AntonioMeireles maybe pfctl needs to be called with -E, the token stored somewhere, then torn down with -X + that token? That looks like that might solve this particular problem.
