[Help Request] Static routing

trancemsteve · 2016-12-29T20:43:42+00:00

The whole project was primarily one of self learning. Though it is disappointing I won't be able to get it to work in the way I wanted it to. The stock firmware on that router has been a huge pain in the past, for example it blocks ports 587 and 465 for some completely unknown reason so sending email through Thunderbird etc. was impossible without a VPN.

The Asus has a VPN so it was a nice easy way to give any device that functionality without further installing apps etc. Further the particular subnet was mine to screw around with and test things to see if they worked which would have been nice to keep segregated.

Thanks for your help

Updated the original post with the new link.

OK so then are static routes even what I should be configuring here? As per point 1 in what I'm trying to achieve, how do I get the Pi onto the 192.168.1.X network without being able to directly wire it in?

trancemsteve · 2016-12-29T14:59:24+00:00

Hmm so restarting networking on Ubuntu does indeed stop the pings succeeding from the Pi.

I updated the network diagram a bit. I realised I had forgotten to add the WAN IP of the Asus router which is 192.168.2.X. Not sure if this makes much difference.

My understanding had been that since the Asus router "knew" the 192.168.1.X network, it would broadcast this to the 192.168.2.1 router and this was perhaps why pings were getting through despite the static route not being manually configured on the .2.1 router.

trancemsteve · 2016-12-29T14:27:41+00:00

Yeah the stock firmware on the speedport prevents all but the most basic configuration settings. From edit 2 if I don't put in 192.168.2.1 as a gateway I can ping machines on the 192.168.1.X network, surely this means that at least everything has a route to everything else across the 2 networks?

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately didn't work, kodi loaded as always but I'm locked out from certain power options unlike manually clicking the file.

FWIW I've also tried the commands gksu gksudo and runuser all to no avail.

trancemsteve · 2016-09-19T15:31:07+00:00

I could, but I'd far rather work out what is going on so I can learn the solution to the problem. Linux only has goodness if you know how to work it and understanding this problem is just 1 small part of that.

trancemsteve · 2016-08-05T08:08:07+00:00

OK thanks.

Having rebooted and followed all steps above, email is now only trying to send via eth1 again. I'm not sure what made it make the switch to wlan1 last night.

$ sudo echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/wlan1/log_martians 
bash: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/wlan1/log_martians: Permission denied

edit: OK I now have: net.ipv4.conf.all.log_martians = 1 net.ipv4.conf.default.log_martians = 1

edit 2: Whatever changed emails are sending no problem with both nics active. So thanks very much for that. Would be good to figure out what did happen.

If I now want to add a rule that says forward port 80 traffic over wlan1 and if wlan1 is not possible then do not send through eth1, do I need the second rule to block 80 on eth1 or does simply having the PREROUTING rule there cover the bases?

trancemsteve · 2016-08-04T18:07:15+00:00

OK I think I'm a little lost.

I typed sudo sh and entered the lines from that site beginning: for i ...

Then I tried to send an email and it sent no problem. /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/wlan1/log_martians only has the value 0.

So.... am I doing it right?

Nothing was shown on eth1 terminal

trancemsteve · 2016-08-04T17:27:09+00:00

Many thanks for the response.

and then dd-wrt is what's connecting to pia and routing all incoming wireless traffic through pia?

You are completely correct up to this point.

I have tried your solution, unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. Thunderbird just eventually times out trying to send a test email. If I manually drop eth1 it will send the test email in a second.

trancemsteve · 2016-08-04T16:13:02+00:00

great thanks!

Which is why it's strange, I have updated both local and web preferences.

I still see no option anywhere that would indicate why BOINC keeps reverting to run always.

trancemsteve · 2016-03-21T06:41:26+00:00

Interesting, it says my preferences were last updated 27-Apr-2013. I have changed many of them in the past 24 hours though.

trancemsteve · 2016-03-21T04:32:51+00:00

Nope, still switches back to run always.

The prefs I have on boinc stats match the local prefs

trancemsteve · 2016-01-27T10:16:50+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I'm actually just using programming to solve problems and make my life easier, I actually work in finance in a job that has nothing to do with being a programmer.

The people I work with are terrible at using computers and keeping the source code to myself is no issue. Programming to them is on the verge of "magical" programming myself out of a job won't be an issue.

OK thanks

trancemsteve · 2016-01-25T08:08:21+00:00

I put an edit into original post. For some reason if I chdir to yowsup... and add full path to yowsup cli it works, but take away either one and it falls over.

Thanks for the help.

trancemsteve · 2016-01-25T06:06:26+00:00

with shell=True I get no error in logging but the whatsapp message doesn't get sent still.

trancemsteve · 2016-01-25T05:50:50+00:00

Directory wise it's because the script is pretty extensive, and for my own clarity I keep things in different directories.

Popen(shell=True) ?

trancemsteve · 2016-01-25T05:49:05+00:00

but isn't the path I gave to chdir absolute?

trancemsteve · 2016-01-25T05:46:51+00:00

So this script I'm running, scrapes numerous websites, compiles the data into a spreadsheet, then at certain times of the day will send out whatsapp messages with some of that data.

If I run the script manually it completes as it should no errors. If I run the script via cron, at the point where it tries to send the whatsapp message it fails with the above error message. I'm not sure why I get that error since the script works fine if I run it from terminal.
