#OPENSUSE ROUTE GATEWAY HOW TO#

In order to get your other machines on the network to use this connection you will need to set their Default Gateway to the internal IP address of your SUSE box which is doing the connection sharing. Your SUSE Linux machine is now set up to share the internet connection with the internal network. Still in the Firewall YaST Module locate the Masquerading section.Ĭheck the box labelled Masquerade Networks Select the network card that is connected to the other machine(s) on your internal network that you want to share the internet to and set it to Internal Zone Enable masquerading Select the network card that you connect to the internet through, click change and set it to External Zone Open YaST - > Security & Users - > Firewall Select the external and internal interfaces Open YaST -> System -> Network Settings -> RoutingĪnd check the box marked Enable IP Forwarding You will not be able to perform this step if you are using Network Manager and not Ifup.

This guide assumes you have already set up your network cards with ip addresses, if you have not do this first in the YaST -> Network Devices -> Network Settings - > network card module, a good static IP for your internal NIC would be 192.168.0.254

3 Select the external and internal interfaces.

Those are generally your main choices before going into what you need to do.Ĭonfirm what you want set up and we'll go from there. You only need to set up the beach head to service all of your machines instead of setting up on each and every machine.īut, if it's only your single machine and no one on the other end would ever need to access anything in your network, then it's probably better to set up the local VPN end point on your own machine instead of setting up a beach head so that you have better end to end encryption. The beach head VPN you have set up is useful if someone on the other side of the VPN might want to access a resource in your own network (like your printer or shares on your machine) and a beach head is also convenient if several machines and devices in your own network need to access the VPN. Theoretically, any time a machine has access to both protected and public resources, that machine becomes a possible point of intrusion for malicious hackers, which is why companies want your machine to not connect directly to the Internet when you have access to the VPN. Usually the VPN beach head is set up on either the same machine as the DG or through the DG, it will generally have its own public IP address but usually does not require its own internal IP address because it can share the DG internal address.Ī consideration is whether your company policy (I assume you're connecting to a remote company network) wants you to connect directly to the Internet while you have access to company resources or if all your traffic including Internet should be routed through the VPN. IMO you first need to start with whether you're setting up exactly what you want.

How to do this in oS? Standard tools - YaST2, Wicked config files somehow not working for me.OK, I have another client with MS Windows, and there I just had to run the command: route -p add 192.168.1.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.15.50 for my purpose.

The question is how to set a permanent static route in openSUSE. It is possible to abstract from VPN in general. Wickedd-dhcp4: eth0: Request to acquire DHCPv4 lease with UUID 7c32195c-And my static routes no appear in 'ip route' output, only dhcp routes: Wickedd-dhcp6: eth0: Request to acquire DHCPv6 lease with UUID 7c32195c.
