How to use ipset with knot or remove it

Hi, i want to redirect all packets with specific url destination to vpn interface.
For that i plan to use ipset, I try to configure /etc/config/dhcp but i discover that turris doesn’t use dnsmasq.

So my question is : how to use ipset with knot or disable it properly and replace it with dnsmasq ?

So… I assume the plan is that specific sub-trees of DNS should get forwarded to the ipset-dns daemon – which will be pointed to your VPN’s DNS server (and additionally modify the firewall dynamically).

Here’s how to add custom config for Knot Resolver on Turris: https://wiki.turris.cz/doc/en/public/dns_knot_misc#adding_custom_configuration
and there you want something like:

vpnTrees = {'first.example.net', 'example.org'}
policy.add(policy.suffix(policy.STUB({'address@portNum'}), policy.todnames(vpnTrees)))

(details: upstream documentation)

If I guessed your intention etc. right, I expect this should be enough, given that you also follow the parts that didn’t concern dnsmasq.

ok so just to be clear on the packet flow.

my computer dns request -> kresd (port 53) -> ipset-dns(port 1919) ->tor dns (port 9053):wink:
---------------------------------------------------------------^ ipset v
my computer tcp request -> match ipset firewall mangle mark (0x33) ->routing rule -> vpn

so config file should be :
FOR THE DNS FLOW

/etc/config/resolver at section config resolver 'kresd’

config resolver 'kresd
     ...
     option include_config '/etc/kresd/custom.conf'
     ...

/etc/kresd/custom.conf where ipset_address should be 127.0.0.1and ipset_portNum the port i should specify running ipset-dns

...
FRTVService = {'france.tv', 'ftv.akamaihd.tld'}
policy.add(policy.suffix(policy.STUB({'ipset_address@ipset_portNum'}), policy.todnames(FRTVService)))
...

I should run ipset-dns for each redirection where my_ipv4_set and my_ipv6_set are ipset names for my firewall match rules (frfbx4, frfbx6).
ipset-dns_portNum the port specified in kresd/custom.conf
dns_forward_ip in my case 127.0.0.1:9053 (tor dns port)

$ ipset-dns my_ipv4_set my_ipv6_set ipset-dns_portNum dns_forward_ip

in my case

$ ipset-dns frfbx4 frfbx6 1919 127.0.0.1:9053

/etc/firewall.users

iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i br-myi_lan -m set --match-set frfbx4 src,dst -j MARK --set-mark 0x33

  • Routing rules and tables

/etc/iproute2/rt_tables add a table in my case :

...
200 vpn_wan
...

/etc/openvpn/tun.up a script on vpn startup

/sbin/ip rule add fwmark 0x33 lookup vpn_wan
/sbin/ip route add default dev tunf table vpn_wan

The kresd parts sound OK; I don’t have much knowledge about the other parts, and I’ve never done an ipset setup or similar.

OK thanks for your part :wink:

And :point_right: somone else because i can’t do it working with dns tor :confused:
I discover that my problem is redirecting from ipset-dns to tor, i tried with ```
ipset-dns frfbx4 frfbx6 1919 8.8.8.8

and it seems to work.

vcunat,

when i use dnsmasq i can specify like “.fr” and ipset-dns is “notifed” for all “*.fr” subdomain.

It seems not to work like that in knot-resolver.
Is it possible to specify like regex or “*.fr” or other to not specify all subdomain of a domain or part of domain ? (i didn’t see it in documentation :wink: )

Why do you think so? The example I wrote redirects whole subtrees, like what you write about *.fr. The docs also shows policy.pattern, policy.custom_fitler, etc.

Ok my problem was about mwan3. i rethink all the process and finaly succeed.
The routing is based on ipset rules.

so config is finaly :

  • Routing rules

/etc/openvpn/tun.up

...

# create a ipset-dns deamon on localhost on IPSET-LISTENING_PORT

# then add the answered ip in the IPSET_LIST_IPv4 or IPSET_LIST_IPv6
if [ $(/bin/ps auxf | grep ipset-dns\ fbxfr | wc -l) -gt 1 ] ; then
       echo "[EXIST] ipset-dns fbxfr"
else
       echo "[CREAT] ipset-dns fbxfr"

Just sometimes the configuration doesn’t work but i have to investigate.
I come back for more information.
