Configuring my Tor Exit Router with IPv6: A Practical Example and Case Study



The remediation is relatively simple: Just disable IPv6 on the router. In most cases, this shouldn't have any impact on other services, unless they require IPv6 (in which case, it would be good to replace the router with something better which is IPv6 certified).


An outbound ACL should be used for an outbound interface. It will filter packets arriving from multiple inbound interfaces before the packets exit the interface.","author":"@type":"Person","name":"Amakiri Welekwe","description":"Amakiri is a UK-trained technology consultant and cybersecurity evangelist, working at the intersection of security, technology, and people.

Configuring my Tor Exit Router with IPv6




Figure 1.0 above shows an internetwork of two routers with three LANs including one serial WAN connection for a logistics company. As the network engineer for this company, you have been asked to use a standard access list to prevent users in the Admin unit from accessing the Operations server attached to the Remote_Router while allowing all other users access to that LAN.


However, if you are not careful enough, misconfigurations can occur. Any misconfigurations in network access policies on your firewall or router can lead to unwanted network exposure. However, with careful planning and adherence to best practices such as the principle of the least privilege and other important ACL rules, most of those issues can be avoided. Each of these rules has some powerful implications when filtering IP packets with access lists. Therefore bear in mind that creating effective access lists actually takes some practice.


BGP peering is typically configured in a managed switch or router as part of the network infrastructure. The BGP peer could also be configured on a Windows Server with the RAS role installed in a Routing Only mode. The BGP router peer in the network infrastructure must be configured to use its own Autonomous System Numbers (ASN) and allow peering from an ASN that is assigned to the SDN components (SLB/MUX and RAS Gateways).

Each Mullvad server can have multiple exit IPs, but if you use the SOCKS5 proxy on the server then you will always get the same IP-address - that of the proxy. This can be useful if you need to whitelist your Mullvad IP somewhere. The proxy provides you with an IPv6 address and an IPv4 address. You can find them on our Connection Check page.

We start with capability of IPv6 for internal communication between virtual machines within same virtal network and across different virtual network. Then we show how to expand IPv6 public addresses to external world. In our case we use Juniper MX routers as cloud gateway.


This capability is nice, but not very useful without connecting to external world. We will create route with associated route target to expand routes to Juniper MX routers via BGP. In the picture below is sample architecture. There is one VRF CLOUD-INET created on each of MX routers. The route target associated with this VRF matches route target added to virtual network in Contrail. In the picture is demonstrated both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses propagated to same VRF. There is also INET virtual-router, that is connected to VRF via lt tunnel interfaces running ospf and ospf3. From this virtual-router is aggregated default route ::/0 from all internet routes from upstream EBGP.


We proved that OpenContrail SDN solution is fully IPv6 capable with cloud platform OpenStack for private and public communication and communicate directly with edge routers as Juniper MX, Cisco ASR, etc.


Level setting: Every computing device on the Internet is assigned a number. Some have two numbers. The numbers are known as IP addresses. Most also have names. The computer where this website resides goes by the name www.RouterSecurity.org and the IP address 216.92.136.14. The firewall tests below communicate with what they see as your public IP address. Usually, this IP address belongs to the router your computing device (tablet, phone, computer) is connected to. All devices connected to the same router have the same public IP address.


There are, however, three instances where the firewall tests are not communicating with your router. If you are connected to a VPN, the public sees the VPN server, rather than your router. Likewise, with Tor you end up testing the Tor exit node rather than your router. The third case involves the box your router is directly connected to. If it is just a modem, all is well. However, if it is a gateway device (combination modem, router and perhaps even a telephone adapter) from your ISP, then the device visible to the outside world may be the gateway rather than your router. For your router to be your public face on the Internet, the gateway needs to be put in Bridge mode. This dumbs it down to function only as a modem.


On the LAN side, UPnP is dangerous because it lets computing devices (typically IoT devices) punch a hole in the routers firewall. This exposes devices to the Internet where their poor security, such as default passwords, can be abused. LAN side devices can do much more, in terms of configuring the router they sit behind, but puncturing the firewall is the classic issue. 2ff7e9595c
