I'm using ZeroTier to create a virtual network so I can get to my home machines and router when I'm away from my home network. I was hoping to be able to force all traffic from devices connected to my laptop's access point back to my home router. My laptop has two wifi cards, one for the connection to the internet and one to use as an access point for devices.
I've seen that I can probably use "source routing" with iproute2 to define a different default gateway for everything coming from the shared wifi connection: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/lartc.rpdb.simple.html I tried that yesterday but I couldn't get it working. I'll see if I can get more logs and looks at output from tcpdump. It occurs to me that default gateways must be on a local network? So my attempt to change dnsmasq settings probably wouldn't have given me the result I want because the new default gateway is a couple of hops away from the devices connecting to the access point.
