Contents 1. Background 2. Setup 3. New commands in ppp 4. Future Work 5. Authors / Acknowledgements 6. Revision History for Aliasing Code 1. Background User mode ppp has embedded NAT (Network Address Translation) code. Enabling this, either by the "-nat" command line option or the "nat enable yes" command in a ppp.conf file, makes the ppp host automatically NAT IP packets forwarded from a local network, making them appear to come from the ppp host machine. Incoming packets from the outside world are then appropriately de-NAT'd. The process of NAT'ing involves both the IP address and the TCP or UDP port numbers. ICMP echo and timestamp packets are natted by their id numbers. ICMP error messages can be properly directed by examining the fragment of the offending packet which is contained in the body of the message. This software was specifically meant to support users who have unregistered, private address IP networks (e.g. 192.168.0.x or 10.0.0.x addresses). The ppp host can act as a gateway for these networks, and computers on the local area net will have some degree of Internet access without the need for a registered IP address. Additionally, there will be no need for an Internet service provider to maintain routing tables for the local area network. A disadvantage of NAT is that machines on the local network, behind the ppp host, are not visible from the outside world. They can establish TCP connections and make UDP inquiries (such as domain name service requests) but the connections seem to come from the ppp host itself. There is, in effect, a partial firewall. Of course, if this is what you want, the disadvantage becomes an advantage. A second disadvantage is that "IP encoding" protocols, which send IP address or port information within the data stream, are not supported for the cases where exception code exists. This implementation has workarounds for FTP and IRC DCC, the most well known of the IP encoding protocols. This frees users from depending on using the ftp passive mode and avoiding IRC DCC sends, as is sometimes the case with other masquerading solutions. The implementation supports all standard, non-encoding TCP and UDP protocols. Examples of these protocols are http, gopher and telnet. The standard UDP mode of Real-Audio is not presently supported, but the TCP mode does work correctly. The NAT code also handles many ICMP messages. In particular, ping and traceroute are supported. 2. Packet Aliasing Setup It is recommended that users first verify correct ppp operation without NAT enabled. This will confirm that the ppp.conf file is properly set up and that there are no ppp problems. Then start ppp with the "-nat" option on the command line. The user should verify that the ppp host can correctly connect to the Internet in NAT mode. Finally, check that machines on the private network can access the Internet. The NAT software handles all packets, whether they come from the host or another computer on the local area network. Thus, a correctly operating ppp host indicates that the software should work properly for other computers on the private network. If the ppp host can access the Internet, but other computers on the local network cannot, check that IP forwarding is enabled on the ppp host. Also, verify that the other computers use this machine as a gateway. Of course, you should also verify that machines within the local area network communicate properly. A common error is inconsistent subnet addresses and masks. 3. New commands in ppp In order to control NAT behaviour in a simple manner (no need for recompilation), a new command has been added to ppp: nat. This is in addition to the -nat command line option. System managers and more experienced users may prefer to use the ppp command syntax within the ppp.conf file. The nat command also allows NAT behaviour to be more precisely specified. The decision to add a command instead of extending 'set' or 'option' was to make obvious that these options only work when NAT is enabled. The syntax for 'nat' is ppp> nat option [yes|no] where option is given by one of the following templates. - nat enable [yes|no] (default no) Enable NAT functionality. If disabled, no other NAT options will have any effect. You should usually enable NAT before routing any packets over the link; good points are in the initial script or right before adding a route. If you do not always want NAT, consider using the -nat option to ppp instead of this command. - nat deny_incoming [yes|no] (default yes) Set to "yes" to disable all incoming connections. This just drops connections to, for example, ftp, telnet or web servers. The NAT mechanism prevents these connections. Technically, this option denies all incoming TCP and UDP requests, making the NAT software a fairly efficient one-way firewall. The default is no, which will allow all incoming connections to telnetd, ftpd, etc. - nat log [yes|no] Controls logging of NAT link creation to "/var/log/alias.log" - this is usually only useful if debugging a setup, to see if the bug is in the PPP NATing. The debugging information is fairly limited, listing the number of NAT links open for different protocols. - nat same_ports [yes|no] (default yes) When a connection is being established going through the NAT routines, it will normally have its port number changed to allow the NAT code to track it. If same_ports is enabled, the NAT software attempts to keep the connection's source port unchanged. This will allow rsh, RPC and other specialised protocols to work _most of the time_, at least on the host machine. Please, do not report this being unstable as a bug - it is a result of the way NAT has to work. TCP/IP was intended to have one IP address per machine. - nat use_sockets [yes|no] (default yes) This is a fairly obscure option. For the most part, the NAT software does not have to allocate system sockets when it chooses a NAT port number. Under very specific circumstances, FTP data connections (which don't know the remote port number, though it is usually 20) and IRC DCC send (which doesn't know either the address or the port from which the connection will come), there can potentially be some interference with an open server socket having the same port number on the ppp host machine. This possibility for interference only exists until the TCP connection has been acknowledged on both sides. The safe option is yes, though fewer system resources are consumed by specifying no. - nat unregistered_only [yes|no] (default no) NAT normally remaps all packets coming from the local area network to the ppp host machine address. Set this option to only map addresses from the following standard ranges for private, unregistered addresses: 10.0.0.0 -> 10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 -> 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0 -> 192.168.255.255 */ In the instance that there is a subnet of public addresses and another subnet of private addresses being routed by the ppp host, then only the packets on the private subnet will be NAT'd. - nat port <proto> <local addr>:<port> <nat port> This command allows incoming traffic to <nat port> on the host machine to be redirected to a specific machine and port on the local area network. One example of this would be: nat port tcp 192.168.0.4:telnet 8066 All traffic to port 8066 of the ppp host would then be sent to the telnet port (23) of machine 192.168.0.4. Port numbers can either be designated numerically or by symbolic names listed in /etc/services. Similarly, addresses can be either in dotted quad notation or in /etc/hosts. - nat addr <local addr> <public addr> This command allows traffic for a public IP address to be redirected to a machine on the local network. This function is known as "static NAT". An address assignment of 0 refers to the default address of the ppp host. Normally static NAT is useful if your ISP has allocated a small block of IP addresses to the user, but it can even be used in the case of a single, dynamically allocated IP address: nat addr 10.0.0.8 0 The above command would redirect all incoming traffic to machine 10.0.0.8. If several address NATs specify the same public address as follows nat addr 192.168.0.2 public_addr nat addr 192.168.0.3 public_addr nat addr 192.168.0.4 public_addr then incoming traffic will be directed to the last translated local address (192.168.0.4), but outgoing traffic to the first two addresses will still be NAT'd to the specified public address. 4. Future Work What is called NAT here has been variously called masquerading, packet aliasing and transparent proxying by others. It is an extremely useful function to many users, but it is also necessarily imperfect. The occasional IP-encoding protocols always need workarounds (hacks). Users who are interested in supporting new IP-encoding protocols can follow the examples of alias_ftp.c and alias_irc.c. ICMP error messages are currently handled only in the incoming direction. A handler needs to be added to correctly NAT outgoing error messages. IRC and FTP exception handling make reasonable, though not strictly correct assumptions, about how IP encoded messages will appear in the control stream. Programmers may wish to consider how to make this process more robust. The NAT engine (alias.c, alias_db.c, alias_ftp.c, alias_irc.c and alias_util.c) runs in user space, and is intended to be both portable and reusable for interfaces other than ppp. To access the basic engine only requires four simple function calls (initialisation, communication of host address, outgoing NAT and incoming de-NATing). 5.

Revision History for Aliasing Code Version 1.0: August 11, 1996 (cjm) Version 1.1: August 20, 1996 (cjm) PPP host accepts incoming connections for ports 0 to 1023. Version 1.2: September 7, 1996 (cjm) Fragment handling error in alias_db.c corrected. Version 1.3: September 15, 1996 (cjm) - Generalised mechanism for handling incoming connections (no more 0 to 1023 restriction). - Increased ICMP support (will handle traceroute now). - Improved TCP close connection logic. Version 1.4: September 16, 1996 Can't remember (this version only lasted a day -- cjm). Version 1.5: September 17, 1996 (cjm) Corrected error in handling incoming UDP packets with zero checksum. Version 1.6: September 18, 1996 Simplified ICMP data storage. Will now handle tracert from Win95 as well as FreeBSD traceroute. Version 1.7: January 9, 1997 (cjm) - Reduced malloc() activity for ICMP echo and timestamp requests. - Added handling for out-of-order IP fragments. - Switched to differential checksum computation for IP headers (TCP, UDP and ICMP checksums were already differential). - Accepts FTP data connections from other than port 20. This allows one ftp connections from two hosts which are both running packet aliasing. Version 1.8: January 14, 1997 (cjm) - Fixed data type error in function StartPoint() in alias_db.c (this bug did not exist before v1.7) Version 1.8b: January 16, 1997 (Eivind Eklund <perhaps@yes.no>) - Upgraded base PPP version to be the source code from FreeBSD 2.1.6, with additional security patches. This version should still be possible to run on 2.1.5, though - I've run it with a 2.1.5 kernel without problems. (Update done with the permission of cjm) Version 1.9: February 1, 1997 (Eivind Eklund <perhaps@yes.no>) - Added support for IRC DCC (ee) - Changed the aliasing routines to use ANSI style throughout - minor API changes for integration with other programs than PPP (ee) - Changed the build process, making all options switchable from the Makefile (ee) - Fixed minor security hole in alias_ftp.c for other applications of the aliasing software. Hole could _not_ manifest in PPP+pktAlias, but could potentially manifest in other applications of the aliasing. (ee) - Connections initiated from packet aliasing host machine will not have their port number aliased unless it conflicts with an aliasing port already being used. (There is an option to disable this for debugging) (cjm) - Sockets will be allocated in cases where there might be port interference with the host machine. This can be disabled in cases where the ppp host will be acting purely as a masquerading router and not generate any traffic of its own. (cjm) Version 2.0: March, 1997 (cjm) - Incoming packets which are not recognised by the packet aliasing engine are now completely dropped in ip.c. - Aliasing links are cleared when a host interface address changes (due to re-dial and dynamic address allocation). - PacketAliasPermanentLink() API added. - Option for only aliasing private, unregistered IP addresses added. - Substantial rework to the aliasing lookup engine. Version 2.1: May, 1997 (cjm) - Continuing rework to the aliasing lookup engine to support multiple incoming addresses and static NAT. - Now supports outgoing as well as incoming ICMP error messages/ - PPP commands to support address and port redirection.
