outgoing-interface randomization needs sysctl ip_nonlocal_bind=1 on Linux or TCP queries fail which breaks DNSSEC #933

Open DanielG opened 1 year ago

Describe the bug

When using an ip6 netblock with outgoing-interface as documented in the manpage queries needing TCP fail with error: outgoing tcp: bind: Cannot assign requested address. I noticed this since it causes DNSSEC enabled domains to be completely broken.

To reproduce

(Prerequisite: a prefix of some size should be routed to the host running unbound, I use 2001:db8::/64 as an example here)

ip addr add dev lo 2001:db8::1/64
ip route add local 2001:db8::/80

Add to unbound.conf:

server:
  interface: lo
  outgoing-interface: 2001:db8::1/80

Make sure to test with domains that have IPv6 enabled nameservers, I use tracker.debian.org here as that's what I initially saw the problem with.

$ dig @::1 tracker.debian.org

Documentation fix

I've found that setting sysctl -w net.ipv6.ip_nonlocal_bind=1 will fix this, but I'm not sure if it's intended for this to be needed. If so the documentation should probably be updated.

After a quick look at the code I figured it out, you're supposed to set ip-freebind: yes.

While the manpage does mention "freebind" it doesn't make it explicit that this option needs to be turned on:

              On Linux you need these two commands
              to be able to use the freebind socket option to receive  traffic
              for  the ip6 netblock: ip -6 addr add mynetblock/64 dev lo && ip
              -6 route add local mynetblock/64 dev lo
