NAT forwarding into WireGuard Interface as LAN Interface

@Bronko said in NAT forwarding into WireGuard Interface as LAN Interface:
This replaces the source IP anyway.You are right, the source IP is replaced by 10.200.0.2 (tun_wg0). How to avoid it?
HAproxy has to replace the source IP with its outgoing interface IP to get the routing work reliably.
You can avoid this though by enabling the transparent mode in the concerned backend settings. But I don't know if the routing across the VPN will work properly then.
Anyway you would have to obey my suggestions regarding interface assignment and filter rules at B above.If it's a http frontend it's rather recommended to add a forward-for header, which would get the clients IP as value. However, the backend server would have to interpret this to get the client IP in the log.

Don't NAT, like I said before and don't use haproxy for email.
That is what I have learned here, using haproxy for SMTP isn't comfortable...
Therefore I have been already created a forwarding rule for WAN on Site-A to machineMX on Site-B server net (10.0.0.0/24) and re-configured the mapping suggested by:
@viragomann said in NAT forwarding into WireGuard Interface as LAN Interface:
So configure the outbound NAT for masquerading at A even now.
Activate the hybrid mode, save this and add a new rule:
interface: tun_wg0 (or whatever the WG is)
protocol: TCP (or what you forward)
source: any
destination: the servers IP at B or an alias for multiple destination IPs
translation: interface addressby the option Do not NAT. But these option breaks the traffic flow, no more connection from outside to SMTP on machineMX.
What I have to learn here...?

by the option Do not NAT. But these option breaks the traffic flow, no more connection from outside to SMTP on machineMX.
I didn't mention that option.
And the NAT might be superfluous if you're driving this traffic over HAproxy, as mentioned. The suggestion was meant for the time to be. -
Just to recap, you have a VPS in the internet, just with pfSense on it.
At home you have a pfSense too and an email-server behind that.
You have made a WireGuard tunnel between the two sites.Now what you can do is a port 25 forward from the VPS to your email-server at home. Also you can route outgoing traffic to port 25 using the VPS over that WG tunnel.
Have a look at this video how to do a Site-to-Site VPN Using WireGuard and pfSense even if you don't have any other hosts on the VPS.

I know, but it was my first run to disable NAT for a specific connection only, to avoid to disable NAT entirely given by the fact not only public routable interfaces on pfsense at Site-A.

Exactly my current configuration with NAT enabled at VPS (Site-A here).

Already done.
(and mentioned here:)
@Bronko said in NAT forwarding into WireGuard Interface as LAN Interface:But machineMX doesn't knows anymore tun_wg0: 10.200.0.2 for routing (DNS only), solved by Policy Routing on Site-B as described here for ex.

Please show your Port Forward on your VPS and also the config of your WG Interface for both. Outbound NAT for both should be automatic, nothing else. It is that easy...

Site-A (VPS):
Site-B (home):
As mentioned, mail server at home - machineMX (at LAN_SEITE3) - is working for in- and outbound mails, but the replaced source ip of incomming mail server connections.

Will double check it but to use HAProxy as a reverse proxy for the Postfix SMTP server, you need to enable Postscreen in Postfix. This doesn't worked for me at the first run...

@Bronko I meant the complete IP-config from those interfaces, not their status.
Also remove the manual outbound NAT rule and forget haproxy.
And what rule is the last one? For the tunnel use an allow any rule for testing. -

The tunnel is working fine, no problem here... isn't it?
@Bob-Dig said in NAT forwarding into WireGuard Interface as LAN Interface:

Without this rule @viragomann (above) incomming conntections via VPS at Site-A to machineMX at Site-B doesn't work.
@Bob-Dig said in NAT forwarding into WireGuard Interface as LAN Interface:

An allow any rule for wg_tunnel is in place. These last one is policy routing for server net (LAN_SEITE3). Without these the outgoing traffic at server net is routed via default gateway at Site-A.

Ok, but NAT on Site-A WAN interface is necessary for sure.

Still not clear, what this is and what you're doing exactly, even I requested several times. So I'm out here.

Oh, I'm sorry... my picture above should it sum up.
Recap: How to log on machineMX real source IP here:postfix/smtpd[31491]: connect from mail.example.org[...real_IP...] -
I have been take some packet sniffs...
With outbound NAT rule @viragomann from above the source IP is replaced by pfsense tun_wg0 at Site-A (10.200.0.2) and machineMX reply is flowing back to Site-A; it works.
Without outbound NAT the real source IP is kept (what I would like to reach) and the machineMX is replying too (sniffed at LAN_SEITE3), but the reply doesn't dive into tun_wg0 back at Site-B, means only the smtp requests from real source IP are sniffed at tun_wg0. No firewall drops in system logs. "Allow any rules" are placed at tunnel and server net (LAN_SEITE3) as required.
How can I find where the smtp replies are dropped? -
@Bronko
You mentioned above, that you run the SMTP traffic over HAproxy at A. Is that still the case??? -
@viragomann
No isn't:@Bronko said in NAT forwarding into WireGuard Interface as LAN Interface:
.... but to use HAProxy as a reverse proxy for the Postfix SMTP server, you need to enable Postscreen in Postfix. This doesn't worked for me at the first run...
SMTP port forwarding for now, and it only works with outbound NAT rule at Site-A... (my last post).

Because I'm going off topic here, I'm resuming what is still the problem at a new Topic and it solved there.
