															 ## Final Summary
														
 
															 The Qubes codebase is complex but well organized and written. Simple tasks, such as the basic port forwarding do require to edit and commit to multiple different components of the ecosystem. As a new entry, a lot has to be learned before being able to understand the whole picture and thus being able to plan new fetures and write useful code. Furthermore, setting up a testing environment has proven to be somewhat hard and testing is anyway is currently a manual process and is a bit time consuming.
														
 
															 In this page. The original goals of this GSOC had to be scaled down in impelementing simple and straightforward port forwarding of two types via CLI only.

															+<br>Contains the code for the "Firewall" tab of the "Qube Manager" window.
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br><span class="moz-txt-underscore"><span class="moz-txt-tag">_</span>manager/ui/qubemanager.ui<span class="moz-txt-tag">_</span></span>
														
 
															+<br>String and properties for the "Qube Manager" UI.
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>Questions:
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>1) Should we both support internal port forwarding and external port 
														
 
															+forwarding? Such as exposing a port for another domain or exposing a 
														
 
															+port through the public network interface? I would say yes.
														
 
															+<br>2) Should it be possible to add rules with an 'any' clause (both tcp and 
														
 
															+udp). I would say no because since port forwarding brings a higher 
														
 
															+attack surface all rules should be as precise as possible.
														
 
															+<br>3) Since the expire= feature seems to be already implemented (and 
														
 
															+limited for the expiring full outgoing access) would it be useful to be 
														
 
															+implemented in gui and cli for every rule? I would say yes since the 
														
 
															+admin and agent code seems to be already there. The same goes for the 
														
 
															+"comment=" field.
														
 
															+<br>4) How would you implement the management of forwarding rules in the 
														
 
															+network providing domain (sys-net)? Shall the user add a rule both in 
														
 
															+the target domain (ie the one with webserver and another one in sys-net) 
														
 
															+or should it be fully automatic from the first?
														
 
															+<br>5) Users should be able to set forward rules using domain names and not 
														
 
															+static ip addresses. In this case, the actual ip addresses of the dst 
														
 
															+domains should be collected in a similr way as currently DNS are 
														
 
															+resolved in `/core-agent-linux/qubesagent/firewall.py`, would this be good?
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>Proposed XML Syntax:
														
 
															+<br>&lt;rule&gt;
														
 
															+<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;properties&gt;
														
 
															+<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;property name="action"&gt;forward&lt;/property&gt;
														
 
															+<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;property name="proto"&gt;udp&lt;/property&gt;
														
 
															+<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;property name="dstports"&gt;443-8080-5555&lt;/property&gt;
														
 
															+<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/properties&gt;
														
 
															+<br>&lt;rule&gt;
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>Proposed Admin API Syntax:
														
 
															+<br>action=forward proto=udp dstports=443-8080-5555 [expire=&lt;unix 
														
 
															+timestamp&gt;] [comment=random text]
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>I also plan to document, at least partially, the journey into this.
														
 
															+<br>As a last question, I'm curious what is your setup in order to test 
														
 
															+modifications in the aforementioned repos while developing.
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>Thank you for your time.

															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>I think my main concern now is the question 4 from the aforementioned 
														
 
															+email. Shall the rules be automatically implemented in all 3 involved 
														
 
															+vms? (&lt;netvm,firewallvm,appvm&gt;). I think yes, because otherwise it would 
														
 
															+be counterintuitive to be a partially manual and partially automatic 
														
 
															+operation. But since it actually 'automatically' exposes more attack 
														
 
															+surface, by loosening up all 3 vms network rules, I guess that maybe

															+<br>In this case, the ports get exposed on &lt;sys-firewall&gt; and thus depending 
														
 
															+on how the rules are implemented, may be available to all the AppVMs 
														
 
															+that share the same &lt;sys-firewall&gt;.
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>In both cases may be important to allow to specify access rules for the

															+<br>From the user point of view, I think it should be automated as much as

															+<br>
														
 
															+<br></blockquote>
														
 
															+<br>I agree with you. We might just check when the user adds an internal

															+<br>vms? (&lt;netvm,firewallvm,appvm&gt;). I think yes, because otherwise it would
														
 
															+<br>be counterintuitive to be a partially manual and partially automatic
														
 
															+<br>operation. But since it actually 'automatically' exposes more attack
														
 
															+<br>surface, by loosening up all 3 vms network rules, I guess that maybe
														
 
															+<br>more reasoning on it would be helpful.
														
 
															+<br></blockquote>
														
 
															+<br>Yes, but you need to pass the traffic somehow. The direct connection can
														
 
															+<br>be achieved with qvm-connnect-tcp (connecting to the target directly
														
 
															+<br>using qrexec, bypassing intermediate VMs), but it has its limits (low
														
 
															+<br>performance, TCP only). To keep it as actual IP traffic, you need to
														
 
															+<br>change firewall rules at all intermediate VMs too.
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>Lets have a specific example: in default setup, redirect TCP port 80
														
 
															+<br>from the outside, to 'work' VM port 8080.
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>The setup looks like this:
														
 
															+<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; 
														
 
															+&nbsp;&nbsp; sys-net -&gt; sys-firewall -&gt; work
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>For this, you will need those rules:
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>1. In sys-net: forward TCP port 80 to sys-firewall
														
 
															+<br>2. In sys-firewall: forward TCP port 80 to work, port 8080
														
 
															+<br>3. In work: allow TCP port 8080
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>Now is the important design question: how to store those rules? If you
														
 
															+<br>store them at all three places separately, it
														
 
															+<br>will be easier to apply them at runtime, but it will be harder to
														
 
															+<br>correlate them in UI. Plus, if any of them get modified/removed, it may
														
 
															+<br>be non-trivial to troubleshoot the issue.
														
 
															+<br>The other approach is to store the forward rules only in one place (the
														
 
															+<br>target, 'work' in this example? or the source, 'sys-net' here?). This
														
 
															+<br>way, it's harder to mess thing up. But when applying the rules (building
														
 
															+<br>rule sets for qubes-firewall service in all the involved VMs), you need
														
 
															+<br>to check several places.
														
 
															+<br>Plus, the UI should clearly show such redirected ports at all involved
														
 
															+<br>places, because it does affect system security - it must be easy to spot
														
 
															+<br>if any redirects are enabled.
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>To make things more complex (sorry...), there may be a VPN or other
														
 
															+<br>proxy service (Tor?) involved. For example:
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>sys-net -&gt; sys-firewall -&gt; sys-vpn -&gt; work
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>In such a case, the "external" VM for 'work' is not really sys-net, but
														
 
															+<br>rather sys-vpn. And actually you need to be careful to not accidentally
														
 
															+<br>bypass VPN either by allowing 'work' to communicate outside of the VPN,
														
 
															+<br>or (maybe even worse) systems on the LAN (via sys-net) reach inside VPN.
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>This case is not easy to solve, because currently core-admin has no idea
														
 
															+<br>whether sys-vpn (or other such VM) do any of such tunnelling. Maybe we
														
 
															+<br>need to (finally) introduce some flag to mark such VMs?
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>And another question: what should happen if you change netvm of 'work'.
														
 
															+<br>For example switch to something like:
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; sys-net -&gt; sys-firewall -&gt; (other VMs, but not 'work')
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; sys-wifi -&gt; work
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>Should the redirection stay active via sys-wifi? I think it should not,
														
 
															+<br>at least not automatically (maybe have an option for that?).
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br></blockquote>
														
 
															+<br>I understand all of your points and consequently it is hard to figure 
														
 
															+out a catch-all solution.
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>I tried charting the flow of the possible solution.
														
 
															+<br><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://git.lsd.cat/Qubes/gsoc/src/master/assets/implementation.png">https://git.lsd.cat/Qubes/gsoc/src/master/assets/implementation.png</a>
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>As a sum up:
														
 
															+<br>1) Rules are stored only in &lt;appvm&gt;/firewall.xml
														
 
															+<br>2) Rules can either be internal or exteranl (ie: they are applied only 
														
 
															+to &lt;firewallvm&gt; or both to &lt;firewallvm&gt; and its &lt;netvm&gt;)
														
 
															+<br>3) Forwarding rules should be purged if &lt;appvm&gt; changes &lt;firewall&gt; 
														
 
															+(maybe also if &lt;firewallvm&gt; changes &lt;netvm&gt;? But that would be harde to 
														
 
															+detect I guess)
														
 
															+<br>4) Users should be able to specify both the forwarded port and 
														
 
															+destination port as you were saying
														
 
															+<br>5) Users should be able to eventually restrict forwarding to designated 
														
 
															+networks (with 0.0.0.0/0 being the wildcard instead of being a wildcard 
														
 
															+by default)
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>However, in this case it will surely be harder to display the rules in 
														
 
															+all the affected vms.
														
 
															+<br>The other approach, as you were suggesting, of adding each specific rule 
														
 
															+in each vm conf does make sense, but I think then it would necessary 
														
 
															+something to keep track of the rule dependencies (such as a unique 
														
 
															+identifier). Furthermore there is a higher risk of having orphaned rules 
														
 
															+or a inconsistent state.
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>Furthermore, in the "internal" vpn case that I have in mind, the idea is 
														
 
															+to forward the local port via the VPN interface or Tor (but in the Tor 
														
 
															+case users should just stick to Whonix). Some providers, such as 
														
 
															+Mullvad, AirVPN, PIA etc allows port forwarding this way and I think 
														
 
															+that's the most relevant case since it allows exposing a service on the 
														
 
															+internet while maintaining a bit of privacy/anonimity and whithout 
														
 
															+needing to bypass the local network NAT. Is this the same case you are 
														
 
															+referring to?
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br><blockquote type=cite style="color: #007cff;">And finally, don't forget IPv6 exists. Which means you can have the same
														
 
															+<br>port on IPv4 and IPv6. And theoretically they could be redirected to
														
 
															+<br>different places (but I'm not sure if that's a good idea...).
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br></blockquote>
														
 
															+<br>I think that once we have figured out the overall logic to implement, it 
														
 
															+should not be hard to duplicate it for ipv4/ipv6. I think the main 
														
 
															+problem to think about is to insert proper checks to prevent users from 
														
 
															+adding mixed rules.

															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; </span>I think my main concern now is the question 4 from the aforementioned

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; </span>email. Shall the rules be automatically implemented in all 3 involved

															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; </span>be counterintuitive to be a partially manual and partially automatic

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; </span>operation. But since it actually 'automatically' exposes more attack

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; </span>surface, by loosening up all 3 vms network rules, I guess that maybe

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; </span>more reasoning on it would be helpful.

														
 
															+</pre></blockquote><pre wrap class="moz-quote-pre">
														
 
															+

														
 
															+Yes, but you need to pass the traffic somehow. The direct connection can

														
 
															+be achieved with qvm-connnect-tcp (connecting to the target directly

														
 
															+using qrexec, bypassing intermediate VMs), but it has its limits (low

														
 
															+performance, TCP only). To keep it as actual IP traffic, you need to

														
 
															+change firewall rules at all intermediate VMs too.

														
 
															+

														
 
															+Lets have a specific example: in default setup, redirect TCP port 80

														
 
															+from the outside, to 'work' VM port 8080. 

														
 
															+

														
 
															+The setup looks like this:

														
 
															+  

														
 
															+  sys-net -&gt; sys-firewall -&gt; work

														
 
															+

														
 
															+For this, you will need those rules:

														
 
															+

														
 
															+1. In sys-net: forward TCP port 80 to sys-firewall

														
 
															+2. In sys-firewall: forward TCP port 80 to work, port 8080

														
 
															+3. In work: allow TCP port 8080

														
 
															+

														
 
															+Now is the important design question: how to store those rules? If you

														
 
															+store them at all three places separately, it

														
 
															+will be easier to apply them at runtime, but it will be harder to

														
 
															+correlate them in UI. Plus, if any of them get modified/removed, it may

														
 
															+be non-trivial to troubleshoot the issue.

														
 
															+The other approach is to store the forward rules only in one place (the

														
 
															+target, 'work' in this example? or the source, 'sys-net' here?). This

														
 
															+way, it's harder to mess thing up. But when applying the rules (building

														
 
															+rule sets for qubes-firewall service in all the involved VMs), you need

														
 
															+to check several places.

														
 
															+Plus, the UI should clearly show such redirected ports at all involved

														
 
															+places, because it does affect system security - it must be easy to spot

														
 
															+if any redirects are enabled.

														
 
															+

														
 
															+

														
 
															+To make things more complex (sorry...), there may be a VPN or other

														
 
															+proxy service (Tor?) involved. For example:

														
 
															+

														
 
															+sys-net -&gt; sys-firewall -&gt; sys-vpn -&gt; work

														
 
															+

														
 
															+In such a case, the "external" VM for 'work' is not really sys-net, but

														
 
															+rather sys-vpn. And actually you need to be careful to not accidentally

														
 
															+bypass VPN either by allowing 'work' to communicate outside of the VPN,

														
 
															+or (maybe even worse) systems on the LAN (via sys-net) reach inside VPN.

														
 
															+

														
 
															+This case is not easy to solve, because currently core-admin has no idea

														
 
															+whether sys-vpn (or other such VM) do any of such tunnelling. Maybe we

														
 
															+need to (finally) introduce some flag to mark such VMs?

														
 
															+

														
 
															+

														
 
															+And another question: what should happen if you change netvm of 'work'.

														
 
															+For example switch to something like:

														
 
															+

														
 
															+    sys-net -&gt; sys-firewall -&gt; (other VMs, but not 'work')

														
 
															+

														
 
															+    sys-wifi -&gt; work

														
 
															+

														
 
															+Should the redirection stay active via sys-wifi? I think it should not,

														
 
															+at least not automatically (maybe have an option for that?).

														
 
															+

														
 
															+

														
 
															+And finally, don't forget IPv6 exists. Which means you can have the same

														
 
															+port on IPv4 and IPv6. And theoretically they could be redirected to

														
 
															+different places (but I'm not sure if that's a good idea...).

															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; </span>I agree with you. We might just check when the user adds an internal

															+I think we can simplify it even further: allow forwarding ports only

														
 
															+from (any of) upstream VMs. For example in this case:

														
 
															+

														
 
															+    appvm1 -&gt; sys-firewall -&gt; sys-net

														
 
															+                 |                 |

														
 
															+    appvm2 ------+                 |

														
 
															+                                   |

														
 
															+    appvm3 -&gt; some-other-firewall -+

														
 
															+

														
 
															+Allow forwarding to appvm1 only from sys-net (external case) or

														
 
															+sys-firwall, but not appvm3 or some-other-firewall.

														
 
															+Then, within the forward rule configuration you can restrict access

														
 
															+rules (like you propose below, with default 0.0.0.0/0). This restriction

														
 
															+will work for VMs directly connected to sys-firewall only, because there

														
 
															+is NAT (sys-net does not know whether its appvm1 or appvm2 - it only

														
 
															+sees sys-firewall IP in those cases). But I think it's ok to make this

														
 
															+limitation and require VMs to be connected to the same &lt;firewallvm&gt; if

														
 
															+you want to forward traffic between them.

														
 
															+

														
 
															+I think you did it right with the internal/external type.

														
 
															+

														
 
															+Allowing forwarding from others (like some-other-firewall in the picture

														
 
															+above) may be tricky (and unreliable), as it will be hard to restrict

														
 
															+who can really connect (sys-net have no idea which VM behind

														
 
															+sys-firewall/some-other-firewall really connects).

															+I'm talking about the other end of the connection. Let me summarize

														
 
															+this for different rules:

														
 
															+

														
 
															+1. For allow/deny rules, it is about where the VM can connect to -

														
 
															+outgoing connection. The source IP is always the VM's IP (implicitly),

														
 
															+and the rule can specify destination IP, protocol, port.

														
 
															+

														
 
															+2. For forward rules, it is about incoming connection - the destination

														
 
															+IP is VM's IP (implicitly), but then the connection is redirected to

														
 
															+somewhere else (like some appvm) - and the rule needs to point out to

														
 
															+where it should redirect.

														
 
															+

														
 
															+If you have simplified case like this:

														
 
															+

														
 
															+  sys-net -&gt; appvm

														
 
															+

														
 
															+Then, the rule in sys-net not only needs to know what to redirect (like,

														
 
															+TCP port 80), but also needs to know to redirect it to appvm, not

														
 
															+anywhere else.

														
 
															+Similarly, if the rule is stored with appvm, it needs to know to

														
 
															+install the redirect in sys-net and not some intermediate other VM (as

														
 
															+talked about internal, or VPN or Tor cases).

														
 
															+

														
 
															+Ok, reading your response further, I think you covered it with

														
 
															+external/internal type, so it should be good.

															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>Yes, but you need to pass the traffic somehow. The direct connection can

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>be achieved with qvm-connnect-tcp (connecting to the target directly

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>using qrexec, bypassing intermediate VMs), but it has its limits (low

															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>change firewall rules at all intermediate VMs too.

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>Lets have a specific example: in default setup, redirect TCP port 80

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>from the outside, to 'work' VM port 8080.

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>The setup looks like this:

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>

															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>For this, you will need those rules:

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>1. In sys-net: forward TCP port 80 to sys-firewall

															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>3. In work: allow TCP port 8080

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>Now is the important design question: how to store those rules? If you

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>store them at all three places separately, it

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>will be easier to apply them at runtime, but it will be harder to

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>correlate them in UI. Plus, if any of them get modified/removed, it may

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>be non-trivial to troubleshoot the issue.

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>The other approach is to store the forward rules only in one place (the

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>target, 'work' in this example? or the source, 'sys-net' here?). This

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>way, it's harder to mess thing up. But when applying the rules (building

															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>to check several places.

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>Plus, the UI should clearly show such redirected ports at all involved

															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>if any redirects are enabled.

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>

															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>In such a case, the "external" VM for 'work' is not really sys-net, but

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>rather sys-vpn. And actually you need to be careful to not accidentally

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>bypass VPN either by allowing 'work' to communicate outside of the VPN,

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>or (maybe even worse) systems on the LAN (via sys-net) reach inside VPN.

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>This case is not easy to solve, because currently core-admin has no idea

														
 
															+<span class="moz-txt-citetags">&gt; &gt; </span>whether sys-vpn (or other such VM) do any of such tunnelling. Maybe we

															+You have mostly done this part already.

														
 
															+This part you can also test manually - really add those rules

														
 
															+manually and check if everything works as it should. This way you ensure

														
 
															+the rule set is sufficient.

														
 
															+

														
 
															+Then, write down QubesDB entries that describe them - carefully matching

														
 
															+which information in the rule is built from which information in qdb

														
 
															+entry.

														
 
															+With that information, you know what qdb entries you need to produce for

														
 
															+each VM, and should be easier to design this extra function/functions -

															+<br></blockquote>
														
 
															+<br>I've tested again the code that I added during the refactoring and made 
														
 
															+a couple of chanegs to make it work. I have not written any test yet, 
														
 
															+however at this stage you can test manually with the following commands 
														
 
															+in dom0:
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>- # qvm-firewall &lt;domain&gt; add action=forward forwardtype=internal 
														
 
															+srcports=443-443 dstports=8443-8443 proto=tcp
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>This command should add an internal forwarding rule. In pratice, as of 
														
 
															+now, the rule should be visible with the correct attributes running 
														
 
															+"qvm-firewall &lt;domain&gt;". Furthermore, the added rule should be present 
														
 
															+in the <i class="moz-txt-slash"><span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>var/lib/qubes/appvms<span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i>&lt;domain&gt;/firewall.xml file too and be 
														
 
															+correctly represented. Lastly, in the untrusted_qdb of &lt;domain&gt;'s netvm 
														
 
															+there should be an entry containing the added rule in the forwarding 
														
 
															+base dir.
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>- # qvm-firewall &lt;domain&gt; add action=forward forwardtype=wxternal 
														
 
															+srcports=80-80 dstports=8080-8080 proto=tcp
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>This command should produce almost the exact outcome as the first one. 
														
 
															+However, in this case, a specific forward rule containing the ip address 
														
 
															+of the next hop should be present in the untrusted_qdb of each vm in the 
														
 
															+network path until the last vm where netvm is None (and thus is expected 
														
 
															+to have some kind of different interface such as eth).
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>Clearly, the port forwarding itself cannot be tested until the proper 
														
 
															+handling of the relevant rules is added to the core-agent-linux. I am 
														
 
															+now working on that and I expect to have something to test more in depth 
														
 
															+in about a week.

															+<br>thank you for the positive feedback, I really appreciate it.
														
 
															+<br>I spent the past couple of days digging into the "rules distribution" 
														
 
															+mechanism in the various QubesDB. It really took some time to find a 
														
 
															+better way to handle and separate the rules for each domain at every 
														
 
															+'step' of their network path.
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/lsd-cat/qubes-core-admin/commit/0cf04fb290469340a59a013531bba6e06e8a0169">https://github.com/lsd-cat/qubes-core-admin/commit/0cf04fb290469340a59a013531bba6e06e8a0169</a>
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>The idea here is that each appvm will have a separate QubesDB folder on 
														
 
															+the untrusted qdb of each netvm. This is for easier cleaning and 
														
 
															+reloading, and can be used in the future when displaying the forwarding 
														
 
															+chain at each step like we were discussing with Marek in the first 
														
 
															+emails. A practical example follows.
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>Assume the following network path:
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br><b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>internet/lan<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> &lt;-&gt; sys-net (10.137.0.5) &lt;-&gt; sys-firewall (10.137.0.6) 
														
 
															+&lt;-&gt; sys-vpn (10.137.0.13) &lt;-&gt; sys-tor (10.137.0.14) &lt;-&gt; personal 
														
 
															+(10.137.0.10)
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>And the following rule:
														
 
															+<br># qvm-firewall personal add action=forward forwardtype=external 
														
 
															+proto=tcp srcports=443-443 dstports=8443-8443 srchost=192.168.0.1/24
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>Here are the QubesDB entries that are automatically added, to be 
														
 
															+consumed from the core-agent-linux:
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>In sys-net:
														
 
															+<br>key = /qubes-firewall-forward/personal/10.137.0.6/0000
														
 
															+<br>value = action=forward forwardtype=external proto=tcp srcports=443-443 
														
 
															+dstports=8443-8443 srchost=192.168.0.1/24
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>In sys-firewall:
														
 
															+<br>key = /qubes-firewall-forward/personal/10.137.0.13/0000
														
 
															+<br>value = action=forward forwardtype=external proto=tcp srcports=443-443 
														
 
															+dstports=8443-8443 srchost=192.168.0.1/24
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>In sys-vpn:
														
 
															+<br>key = /qubes-firewall-forward/personal/10.137.0.14/0000
														
 
															+<br>value = action=forward forwardtype=external proto=tcp srcports=443-443 
														
 
															+dstports=8443-8443 srchost=192.168.0.1/24
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>In sys-tor:
														
 
															+<br>key = /qubes-firewall-forward/personal/10.137.0.10/0000
														
 
															+<br>value = action=forward forwardtype=external proto=tcp srcports=443-443 
														
 
															+dstports=8443-8443 srchost=192.168.0.1/24
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>Although this mechanism seems complex, I was not able to think of a 
														
 
															+simpler solution. Furthermore I think it is important to know which 
														
 
															+appvm is requesting the forwarding at every step, both for debugging and 
														
 
															+auditing purposes. Lastly, the next hop ip address has to be determined 
														
 
															+automatically anyway and writtem somewhere so there it is.
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>I am also thinking about adding a couple of flags to let the nodes know 
														
 
															+which one is the first and which one is the last since especially the 
														
 
															+last needs additional rules for the external forwarding.
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>One more thing, maybe between internal hops it makes sense to randomize 
														
 
															+the forwarded ports? This way we can prevent forwarding from different 
														
 
															+appvm which shares the same network path or even just one hop from 
														
 
															+overlapping, at least internally. Does it makes sense for you?
														
 
															+<br>

															+<br></blockquote>
														
 
															+<br>I've not an alternative idea yet but, I'm wondering if leaking appvm names in "higher" untrusted appvms is reasonable, especially for confidentiality. Maybe simply use the destination appvm ip, here in your example that would be personal ip. dom0/GuiVM has access to the info so getting appvm name from ip should be simple.

															+<br><blockquote type=cite style="color: #007cff;">I am also thinking about adding a couple of flags to let the nodes know

															+<br>last needs additional rules for the external forwarding.
														
 
															+<br></blockquote>
														
 
															+<br>Here too, I'm not sure adding such info is a good idea for security. What exactly do you have in mind for the last needs additional rules?
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br><blockquote type=cite style="color: #007cff;">One more thing, maybe between internal hops it makes sense to randomize
														
 
															+<br>the forwarded ports? This way we can prevent forwarding from different
														
 
															+<br>appvm which shares the same network path or even just one hop from
														
 
															+<br>overlapping, at least internally. Does it makes sense for you?
														
 
															+<br></blockquote>
														
 
															+<br>Yes that can be some kind of useful hardening or to prevent any conflict indeed.

															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>All of them are running fedora-32.

															+<br># qvm-firewall personal add action=forward forwardtype=external 
														
 
															+scrports=22-22 proto=tcp dstports=2222-2222 srchost=192.168.10.0/24
														
 
															+<br>.
														
 
															+<br>First, a table for the forwarding rules is created:
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>flush chain {family} qubes-firewall-forward prerouting
														
 
															+<br>flush chain {family} qubes-firewall-forward postrouting

															+<br>}
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>Then, if the qube is marked as 'last', meaning that it is the external 
														
 
															+qube with the physical interface the following rules are added:
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>table {family} qubes-firewall-forward {
														
 
															+<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;chain prerouting {
														
 
															+<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; meta iifname "ens6" {family} saddr 192.168.10.0/24 tcp dport {{ 22 }}

															+<br>

															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>In sys-firewall, since it is an 'internal' qube, the following rules are

															+<br>I have made a lot of changes in the core-agent-linux code in order to 
														
 
															+fix minor bugs which emerged during manual testing as well as improve 
														
 
															+the overall logic robustness.
														
 
															+<br>Unfortunately, I am still having some troubles in debugging why the 
														
 
															+incoming packes in sys-net are not reaching the next hop (sys-firewall, 
														
 
															+10.137.0.6). Tcpdump and nft trace monitor are totally silent in 
														
 
															+sys-firewall, which I guess confirms the 0 counter as shown in the 
														
 
															+"rules" screenshot (which is of sys-net). Tracing the packets seems to 
														
 
															+show a succesful opeartion:
														
 
															+<br>1) The incoming packet is accepted
														
 
															+<br>2) The packet is forwarded to the vif72.0 interface succesfully
														
 
															+<br>
														
 
															+<br>The trace is the result of the "ssh <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:test@192.168.137.128">test@192.168.137.128</a>" command, which

															+really sure what to check more...
