Hi all

I know this has been asked before and I've read as many of the posts on here and articles on the internet but i think i'm starting to get blinded by the trees.

I'm using a WNDR3700v4 build 26849, the tunnel is configured on the router. The website I'm trying to test with is on my macbook, running MAMP PRO.

I'm trying to get past the explorer stages of this certification, I've got the tunnel configured on HEs site, got the config done my DD-WRT router. I'm getting 10/10 on the test-ipv6.com site and 18/20 on ipv6-test.com, (it's seeing no reverse DNS and not using IPV6 as default).

The certification test gets as far as grabbing the test file with "Could not grab the file via IPv6 HTTP"

I can use WGET -6 to get the file from my within my local network:

blagdon@blagdon-Parallels-Virtual-Platform ~/Desktop $ wget -6 blaggers.cf/uaa9hiqwu3.txt

It seems port 80 is blocked, no reachable after doing this test on http://www.subnetonline.com/pages/ipv6-network-tools/online-ipv6-port-scanner.php

Checked port 80 on Host/IP blaggers.cf...

The checked port (80, service http) is offline/unreachable

Reason: Connection timed out (110)

Portscan ran for 8.0736 seconds

I'm guessing it's my firewall rules but as I understand it they are allowing port 80 and 443, see the ip6tables and iptables below:

Any help, advise would be massively appreciated. I've been stuck on this for days and it's really starting to annoy me. :-)

That page loads fine for me.

blagdon · « **Reply #2 on:** May 11, 2015, 07:16:54 AM »

Which page, blaggers.cf? It loads fine during the Enthusiast test but the test file "/uaa9hiqwu3.txt" won't load with the error "Could not grab the file via IPv6 HTTP"

cholzhauer · « **Reply #3 on:** May 11, 2015, 07:24:36 AM »

I can load http://blaggers.cf/uaa9hiqwu3.txt without issue. You should see my IP in your logs just now

Is there a stale DNS entry on HE's side?

blagdon · « **Reply #4 on:** May 11, 2015, 07:32:53 AM »

Hi

Great you can both see the file, means I'm not totally stupid ;-)

Here's the DNS entries from HE

Name       Type   TTL      Priority   Data   DDNS   Delete
blaggers.cf   SOA      86400   -         ns1.he.net. hostmaster.he.net. 2015051106 10800 1800 604800 86400      locked
blaggers.cf   NS      86400   -         ns2.he.net
blaggers.cf   NS      86400   -         ns3.he.net
blaggers.cf   NS      86400   -         ns5.he.net
blaggers.cf   NS      86400   -         ns4.he.net
blaggers.cf   A      300      -         5.198.114.229
blaggers.cf   AAAA   300      -         2001:470:1f09:b83:fc86:797f:11d7:1584
blaggers.cf   MX      300      1         blaggers.cf
blaggers.cf   PTR      300      -      blaggers.cf

I've no idea how to spot a stale entry. Maybe if I delete and recreate the who thing from tunnel up?

Thanks for all this guys

The test cache information expires after one hour, regardless of the record's TTL.

blagdon · « **Reply #6 on:** May 11, 2015, 12:01:45 PM »

That's what the reply from HE said. I've waited an hour, still not working. Any more ideas?

kcochran · « **Reply #7 on:** May 11, 2015, 12:07:01 PM »

From the testing server:

Same from HE colo native IPv6:

Thanks guys. I'm guessing it's the firewall config then or the router can't transit protocol 51??? My ip6tables are below, they still look like they'll accept ports 80 and 443?

ACCEPT tcp anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:https

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)

Try removing ip6tables completely, and making certain the daemon is listening on that ip, and that people can connect externally. Try popping into #ipv6 on freenode for experienced IPv6 people to maybe help you in realtime (assuming anyone is there and active when you join).

blagdon · « **Reply #11 on:** May 12, 2015, 02:04:39 AM »

Brilliant, that cracked it! I flushed the ip6tables with ip6tables -f and now it's working fine. Thanks you very much!

snarked · « **Reply #12 on:** May 15, 2015, 06:52:29 PM »

For IPv6, look at where your "drop everything" rule was. It wasn't at the end.... (Rules after it are never reached.)

Also, your input and output rules (for both IPv4 and IPv6) should probably have an "-j ACCEPT -i lo" (or -o lo) so that packets from and to yourself can pass through the firewall. I always put them first so that I can ignore looped-back traffic from counters measuring external traffic.

TCPMSS targets do not belong in the filter table. Read the docs for the target and you will find they belong elsewhere (I forget offhand if the correct placement is the "raw" table or in the "mangle" table), but the filter table is definitely wrong. It also makes no sense to have it in a forward rule set. You need to add it at the host which is trying to generate the overly large packet. ICMP will deal with forwarding packets too large.

Lastly, I note that your rules allow new TCP traffic (i.e. SYN flag), and established TCP sessions, but are you allowing for replies to TCP SYN packets where the virtual connection is not fully established?

JRMTL · « **Reply #13 on:** May 15, 2015, 09:23:19 PM »

It looks like the OP is basically using the default dd-wrt iptables & ip6tables rulesets. Since he did not run -vnL the IFs are not shown. That being said the first of the duplicate IPv4 input chain "accept state new" would be for lo the second for br0. As for IPv6 it may be prudent to add lo but honestly it does absolutely nothing. I have 0 packets from lo over IPv6.

For IPv4 tcpmss clamping would be found in the mangle table by default with ddwrt. For IPv6 the module ip6table_mangle is not loaded by default and if I remember correctly was not included in the ddwrt builds until recently (ish). If he were to move tcpmss to mangle he would have to insmod ip6tables_mangle.ko himself. As for it being in the filter forward table I believe it would be kind of difficult to outright state that it is not acceptable when the netfilter documentation itself shows it in the filter forward table. FYI it works just fine where it is by default.

snarked · « **Reply #14 on:** May 16, 2015, 10:58:19 AM »

Obviously incorrect. If the first entry were for the loopback device, the ONLY condition would be -i lo or -o lo. There would be no -m state option given.

From the manual page for ip[6]tables:

Quote

TCPMSS
This target .... Of course, it can only be used in conjunction with -p tcp. It is only valid in the mangle table.

It will not work in the filter table.
