Dante times out, but NordVPN is successfully connected

darkson95 commented 11 months ago

Unfortunately, I have issues with dante. NordVPN connects without any problem.

nordvpn status

Status: Connected
Hostname: de1117.nordvpn.com
IP: 156.67.85.18
Country: Germany

Current technology: NORDLYNX
Current protocol: UDP
Uptime: 4 minutes 31 seconds

checkip returns private ip address but curl --interface nordlynx ifconfig.co returns nordvpn ip address (156.67.85.18)

So the issue is not the connection with the vpn server, it has to be with dante. I set

DANTE_LOGLEVEL=error
DANTE_ERRORLOG=/dev/stdout
DANTE_DEBUG=1

getdante

client pass {

        log: error
}
client pass {
        from: 127.0.0.0/8 to: 0.0.0.0/0
        log: error
}
client pass {
        from: 172.18.0.0/16 to: 0.0.0.0/0
        log: error
}
socks pass {
        from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0
        protocol: tcp udp
        log: error
}

I attached the logs from dante. Maybe this helps.

Could you try to test the container with this script. adapt PROXY_HOST if needed. run: test.sh -t

Could run these command from within the container, the same ip should come up: checksocks checkhttp getcheck checkip

root@2415ad1e7bc2:/app# checksocks

}
root@2415ad1e7bc2:/app# checkip
193.42.96.62

curl/7.88.1

here is the timeout occurring: 17 19:13:16 (1689613996.100220) danted[831]: info: pass(2): tcp/accept ]: 0 -> 172.18.0.1.50524 172.18.0.4.1080 -> 0: connect timeout. Session duration: 32s

these lines are odd: Jul 17 19:13:15 (1689613995.354968) danted[801]: debug: getroute(): request: VER: 5 CMD: 1 FLAG: 0 ATYP: 1 address: 34.117.65.55.443, authmethod 0 Jul 17 19:13:15 (1689613995.354973) danted[801]: debug: getroute(): no routes, faking direct route

do you have a dns problem ? a firewall set ? in the container logs, is there a problem with routes ? what is your set up ? could you share your settings ?

The test script failed on both tests.

This is my setup on my Synology:

      - DANTE_LOGLEVEL=error 
      - DANTE_ERRORLOG=/dev/stdout 
      - DANTE_DEBUG=1

I don't have a firewall, but I use AdGuard Home as a DNS-Server. The DNS is not a problem because inside the container every domain can be resolved. NordVPN is connected, so it has to be something different I think. I test the whole thing by entering the SOCKS5 proxy in Chrome (and Firefox) and then calling https://ifconfig.co/.

The same configuration on another machine (Raspberry Pi 4) did not work as well.

edgd1er commented 11 months ago

In the docs, I didn't made clear that LOCAL_NETWORK is required. It's used in dante configuration, nordvpn network whitelisting and route adding. Somewhere in the logs, you should have the line"WARNING: OVPN: undefined LOCAL_NETWORK, sockd and http proxies available only through 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0."

Could you define in the compose file LOCAL_NETWORK ?

darkson95 commented 11 months ago

I had LOCAL_NETWORK first in the configuration, but it did not work either. In the dante_config.sh line 31 script you have a default for the LOCAL_NETWORK.

I added - LOCAL_NETWORK=192.168.0.0/16 again, but without any success :(

I am very confused :(

edgd1er commented 11 months ago

so am i. I've looked through the log and couldn't find the cause. these two lines are likely a clue that may show us the path to the problem.

I'm afraid you'll have to run many commands to try to understand what is going on. Could you run the following commands from within the container ? all 3 return should be the same or alike.

curl https://www.google.com
curl -x socks5://127.0.0.1:1080 https://www.google.com
source /app/utils.sh
getEthIp
curl -x socks5://<getIthIp result>1080 https://www.google.com

could you also run route -n you should have something similar to:

root@2415ad1e7bc2:/app# route -n

When I compare your result with mine from the -n route, I notice that the last line is not the same. Could this be the error?

edgd1er commented 11 months ago

Well, I think we are getting somewhere...

direct connection is ok.
danted is listening to both ip (localhost and docker ip)
I made a poor copy paste & replace with the route -n. I tried to match your settings improperly. I have the same as you, except instead of 18 I have 21.
According to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11246770/tor-curl-cant-complete-socks5-connection-to-0-0-0-00, the problem could be your system clock being off. Could you check and update your system clock if needed.

Adding -v to the curl may show more detailed errors .
