* firewall: add option to send REJECT replies
This change allows you to configure the firewall to send REJECT packets
when a packet is denied.
firewall:
# Action to take when a packet is not allowed by the firewall rules.
# Can be one of:
# `drop` (default): silently drop the packet.
# `reject`: send a reject reply.
# - For TCP, this will be a RST "Connection Reset" packet.
# - For other protocols, this will be an ICMP port unreachable packet.
outbound_action: drop
inbound_action: drop
These packets are only sent to established tunnels, and only on the
overlay network (currently IPv4 only).

This change also modifies the smoke test to capture tcpdump pcaps from
both the inside and outside to inspect what is going on over the wire.
It also now does TCP and UDP packet tests using the Nmap version of
ncat.
* calculate seq and ack the same was as the kernel
The logic a bit confusing, so we copy it straight from how the kernel
does iptables `--reject-with tcp-reset`:

* cleanup
The goal of this work is to send packets between two hosts using more than one
5-tuple. When running on networks like AWS where the underlying network driver
and overlay fabric makes routing, load balancing, and failover decisions based
on the flow hash, this enables more than one flow between pairs of hosts.
Multiport spreads outgoing UDP packets across multiple UDP send ports,
which allows nebula to work around any issues on the underlay network.
Some example issues this could work around:
- UDP rate limits on a per flow basis.
- Partial underlay network failure in which some flows work and some don't
Agreement is done during the handshake to decide if multiport mode will
be used for a given tunnel (one side must have tx_enabled set, the other
side must have rx_enabled set)
NOTE: you cannot use multiport on a host if you are relying on UDP hole
punching to get through a NAT or firewall.
NOTE: Linux only (uses raw sockets to send). Also currently only works
with IPv4 underlay network remotes.
This is implemented by opening a raw socket and sending packets with
a source port that is based on a hash of the overlay source/destiation
port. For ICMP and Nebula metadata packets, we use a random source port.
Example configuration:
multiport:
# This host support sending via multiple UDP ports.
tx_enabled: false
# This host supports receiving packets sent from multiple UDP ports.
rx_enabled: false
# How many UDP ports to use when sending. The lowest source port will be
# listen.port and go up to (but not including) listen.port + tx_ports.
tx_ports: 100
# NOTE: All of your hosts must be running a version of Nebula that supports
# multiport if you want to enable this feature. Older versions of Nebula
# will be confused by these multiport handshakes.
#
# If handshakes are not getting a response, attempt to transmit handshakes
# using random UDP source ports (to get around partial underlay network
# failures).
tx_handshake: false
# How many unresponded handshakes we should send before we attempt to
# send multiport handshakes.
tx_handshake_delay: 2
This makes it easier to use the docker container smoke test that
GitHub actions runs. There is also `make smoke-docker-race` that runs the
smoke test with `-race` enabled.
Test that basic inbound / outbound firewall rules work during the smoke
test. This change sets an inbound firewall rule on host3, and a new
host4 with outbound firewall rules. It also tests that conntrack allows
packets once the connection has been established.
* Better config test
Previously, when using the config test option `-test`, we quit fairly
earlier in the process and would not catch a variety of additional
parsing errors (such as lighthouse IP addresses, local_range, the new
check to make sure static hosts are in the certificate's subnet, etc).
* run config test as part of smoke test
* don't need privileges for configtest

This change adds a new Github Action, a 3 node smoke test. It starts
three docker containers (one lighthouse and two standard nodes) and
tests that they can all ping each other. This should hopefully detect
any basic runtime failures in PRs.
