Hi!

I’m trying to make a DIY router. I used configs from some online guides (the nftables one is from the project’s website), but nothing happens when I connect a different machine. I know that description doesn’t say much, so I’d like to know how can I check what’s actually wrong. My system (Guix) config is below:

(use-modules (gnu))
(use-service-modules cups desktop networking ssh xorg sysctl linux dns)

(define wan "enp0s29u1u5")

(define lan "enp0s25")

(define dnsmasq-config
  "# Listen on this specific port instead of the standard DNS port
# (53). Setting this to zero completely disables DNS function,
# leaving only DHCP and/or TFTP.
port=53
# Never forward plain names (without a dot or domain part)
domain-needed
# Never forward addresses in the non-routed address spaces.
bogus-priv
# By  default,  dnsmasq  will  send queries to any of the upstream
# servers it knows about and tries to favour servers to are  known
# to  be  up.  Uncommenting this forces dnsmasq to try each query
# with  each  server  strictly  in  the  order  they   appear   in
# /etc/resolv.conf
strict-order
# Set this (and domain: see below) if you want to have a domain
# automatically added to simple names in a hosts-file.
expand-hosts
# Set the domain for dnsmasq. this is optional, but if it is set, it
# does the following things.
# 1) Allows DHCP hosts to have fully qualified domain names, as long
#     as the domain part matches this setting.
# 2) Sets the \"domain\" DHCP option thereby potentially setting the
#    domain of all systems configured by DHCP
# 3) Provides the domain part for \"expand-hosts\"
#domain=thekelleys.org.uk
domain=example.com

# Set Listen address
listen-address=127.0.0.1 # Set to Server IP for network responses

    The first thing I noticed was that your servers “lan” interface has no IPv4 address. Compare the section for enp0s25 to that of your wan port… notice how the inet line is missing.

    Based on your dnsmasq config I assume you’d want the server to have a static IP of 192.168.3.1

    Dnsmasq is also going to configure the client with the DNS server and NTP set 192.168.3.5. Is this another machine in your network already, or is that a typo?

      «your servers “lan” interface has no IPv4 address» ok, so how can that be fixed?

      «Is this another machine in your network already, or is that a typo?» Probably a typo, I just copied it mindlessly :/. Now I have this:

      dhcp-range=192.168.0.25,192.168.0.50,24h
dhcp-option=option:router,192.168.0.1
dhcp-option=option:ntp-server,192.168.0.1
dhcp-option=option:dns-server,192.168.0.1
dhcp-option=option:netmask,255.255.255.0
