NAT Loopback change in Endian Firewall 2.2

Please does somebody know why there is change of IP NAT Loopback behaviour in EFW 2.2? Or how to correct problem?

I need access internal servers from LAN by external IP with port forwarding. For example we have some users with laptops who occasionally work from home so their email client is set to the WAN IP, but when they bring the laptop into the office they are unable to connect to the mail server without changing their email client to the LAN IP of the mail server.

Before I was using EFW 2.1.x and there it worked correctly without any special options. But with 2.2  it is not working. I could succesfull ping or access endian web admin interface https://external-ip:10443 but accessing some other services in internal network is not working.


Thanks for help.

Is the port forwarding being done on the primary Red IP or an alias IP?

Hi Caizi,

maybe I've got another solution for you...

The way we've solved this is DNS. Certainly we've got an external dns
mail entry on a public dns server. But inside our office network is our
internal dns server responsible and so we've configured an dns entry to
point from our (external) mailserver dns entry to the internal ip of the
mailserver. This way all our laptop users can configure their mailclient
to mail.*com and wherever they are they get either the public ip
(through a public dns server outside the office network) or they get the
internal ip of our mailserver (through our internal dns server).

Hope you anderstand what I mean...

Hope that helps,
Ben Hartmann

Hi Ben,

thanks for reply but DNS solution is not exactly what i need, because then you are not able to use port forwarding option. This is important if you are using different services on separate servers. For example under FQDN name mail.mydomain.com I have mailserver on internal server1 but webmail is on internal server2. So I need to forward requests to ports 25,465,995,993 to server1 but requests for port 80,443 to server2. So DNS solution is usable only in simple scenarios.

Some another solution?

In network setup I have configured only one external IP. And in port forwarding rule I have this:

TCP Uplink ANY : 25(SMTP) => 192.168.1.21 : 25(SMTP) allow SMTP
TCP Uplink ANY : 443(HTTPS) => 192.168.1.31: 443(HTTPS) allow Webmail

Any idea?

Caizi,

I have a similar setup. I have my users on the Green network and put the
servers which are accessed from inside and outside on the Orange
network.

As long as your EFW has 3 NIC cards, you should be able to set this up
with no problem. Make sure you allow access from the Orange network to
the Green network for the ports listed below.

Caizi,

I am still running 2.1.2, so I can't help you with your original request
as I've no idea how to change 2.2's behavior.

You may want to consider this.  DNS could still work for you.  Just use
separate domain names for SMTP and WEBMAIL.  For example:

Internal DNS Server:
    mail.mydomain.com    192.168.1.31
    smtp.mydomain.com    192.168.1.21

External DNS Server:
    mail.mydomain.com    4.3.2.1
    smtp.mydomain.com    4.3.2.1

Endian Port Forwarding:
    4.3.2.1:25(SMTP)   => 192.168.1.21:25(SMTP)
    4.3.2.1:465(SMTPS) => 192.168.1.21:465(SMTPS)
    4.3.2.1:995(POP3S) => 192.168.1.21:995(POP3S)
    4.3.2.1:993(IMAPS) => 192.168.1.21:993(IMAPS)
    4.3.2.1:80(HTTP)   => 192.168.1.31:80(HTTP)
    4.3.2.1:443(HTTPS) => 192.168.1.31:443(HTTPS)

Then point your mail clients to smtp.mydomain.com.  Voila.

Hope this helps.
