Wireguard client

Great, thanks for testing.

Hi Sam,

Thanks a lot for adding wireguard module to the last build !
I confirm it works like a charm.

@sam_nazarko is it possible iptables connmark target is missing from the kernel?
WireGuard works fine, until I try to route all traffic through WG. It crashes on an iptables error. WireGuard dev thinks itā€™s connmark.

Itā€™s there in kernel 3.14.29-157.

Looking through the WireGuard documentation I see at least five different method described.

Thatā€™s a bit short on detail. Please describe in more detail what you are doing, show all error messages, and provide full logs (grab-logs -A).

Iā€™ve checked this.

We have:

# Xtables combined modules
#
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MARK=y
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_CONNMARK=y

Here is our complete configuration: https://paste.osmc.tv/raw/jugefiwona

Cheers.

Yes I believe there are several ways of routing traffic, but ideally Iā€™d want to use wg-quick. The error happens at this line in the script: echo -n "$restore" | cmd $iptables-restore -n under add_default(). Note that itā€™s only a problem when redirecting all traffic through WireGuard (AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0).

So the error was pretty non-descriptive: something along the lines of iptables-restore: error on line 3 and would crash wg-quick.

Comparing a Debian (amd64) Iā€™ve noticed that the following packages were only partly installed: iptables libip6tc0 libiptc0 libjansson4 libnetfilter-conntrack3 libnfnetlink0 libnftables0 libnftnl11 nftables

I tried to install them one by one.

Installing nftables the error goes away but the tunnel remains offline.

It seems like libnftables0 doesnā€™t exist, but similar package exists named libnftables1. Installing that one causes issues though:

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

One thing that strikes me immediately is that wg-quick is part of the wireguard-tools package, which is only available in buster-backports (and unstable). Since OSMC is still on Debian stretch, such unmet dependencies are very likely to occur.

Iā€™ll take a more in-depth look this evening.

Thatā€™s indeed the case.
I think for now the Wireguard tools should probably be built from source until we move to Buster

My own feeling is that you should wait for OSMC to move to Debian buster before using wg-quick. There are several other methods you can use in the interim. That said, thereā€™s nothing to prevent you from seeing whatā€™s wrong with $restore. Just add a line before the failing command echo "$restore" > /tmp/zzz.out and see what it contains.

I had an inkling that it might have been the lack of the mangle table, but I see that Sam has added it to 4.9.

I also see that you have an IP address on both eth0 and wlan0, so how do you control which interface is used by WG?

Oh I didnā€™t realise osmc wasnā€™t running Debian 10. When is it planned to move to Buster?

I believe WireGuard automatically selects an iface. I assumed preferred is wired. This doesnā€™t seem to be a problem on any other devices.

I canā€™t seem to get it to work on my OSMC ā€“ itā€™s okay, Iā€™ll use my iPad for now (the whole idea was to watch some local content/news from my home country during the lockdown while being in Singapore).

Thanks all

We will move when Buster is ready.
For now you would probably have to compile the client tools from source.

Hi,

I think that Ā« wg-quick Ā» rely on nftables. But for this to work correctly, we need the kernel module Ā« nf_tables Ā».

And from current 4.19 osmc kernel the following config is disabled :

grep NF_TABLES /boot/config-4.9.113-19-osmc
# CONFIG_NF_TABLES is not set

Is this possible to try to update kernel with this enable (as a module) ?

Thanks a lot,

I will add it for the next kernel.

To use wg-quick you must change the code of wg-quick (is a script) and from the config file (e.g. wg0.conf). You can use nano for this.

iptables can not use the -m function. You must set the firewall without it.

If the problem with iptables is solved, then you can reinstall wireguard-tools.

Before (begin at line 232):

printf -v restore '%sCOMMIT\n*mangle\n-I POSTROUTING -m mark --mark %d -p udp -j CONNMARK --save-mark %s\n-I PREROUTING -p udp -j CONNMARK --restore-mark %s\nCOMMIT\n' "$restore" $table "$marker" "$marker"
	printf -v nftcmd '%sadd rule %s %s postmangle meta l4proto udp mark %d ct mark set mark \n' "$nftcmd" "$pf" "$nftable" $table
	printf -v nftcmd '%sadd rule %s %s premangle meta l4proto udp meta mark set ct mark \n' "$nftcmd" "$pf" "$nftable"
	[[ $proto == -4 ]] && cmd sysctl -q net.ipv4.conf.all.src_valid_mark=1
	if type -p nft >/dev/null; then
		cmd nft -f <(echo -n "$nftcmd")
	else
		echo -n "$restore" | cmd $iptables-restore -n
	fi

After:

#printf -v restore '%sCOMMIT\n*mangle\n-I POSTROUTING -m mark --mark %d -p udp -j CONNMARK --save-mark %s\n-I PREROUTING -p udp -j CONNMARK --restore-mark %s\nCOMMIT\n' "$restore" $table "$marker" "$marker"
	printf -v nftcmd '%sadd rule %s %s postmangle meta l4proto udp mark %d ct mark set mark \n' "$nftcmd" "$pf" "$nftable" $table
	printf -v nftcmd '%sadd rule %s %s premangle meta l4proto udp meta mark set ct mark \n' "$nftcmd" "$pf" "$nftable"
	[[ $proto == -4 ]] && cmd sysctl -q net.ipv4.conf.all.src_valid_mark=1
	if type -p nft >/dev/null; then
		cmd nft -f <(echo -n "$nftcmd")
	else
		echo "test"
		#echo -n "$restore" | cmd $iptables-restore -n
	fi

Iā€™ve updated the 4.9 kernel configuration and this will be reflected in the next build. It should be noted that it will be a few weeks until another build is pushed.

Has anyone put together a step by step tutorial on how to set this up?

Not yet - itā€™s quite involving and depends on your local network configuration.

Hey Sam ā€“ Read in this thread that Buster support is technically ready? How best to upgrade? I donā€™t mind testing.

Note (donā€™t know if that matters) ā€“ but I added the deb http://apt.osmc.tv videoimprovevero main line as explained here to update to kernel. Currently running Linux osmc 4.9.113-20-osmc #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri May 15 17:37:55 UTC 2020 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Thanks

Buster and the 4.9 kernel are not compatible currently, once Buster is ready for OSMC itā€™ll first be available for the currently supported kernel and then work will be underway to merge the two.

Hi, now when we have released OSMC based on Debian Buster and support for wireguard (acording this thread https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/testing-linux-4-9-kernel-and-improved-video-stack-for-vero-4k-4k/84874),
can someone post basic tutorial how to install and configure wireguard on OSMC, please? Thanks
