In Haiti, Adam and I have been trying to get a school server online.
We're finding that volunteers are going through the school server to
the internet with their laptops, and he wants to turn that off, at
least for now.
I've turned off /proc/net...ip_forward and verified that there is no
masquerade enabled in the iptables.
But that's not enough!! I wasn't sure that the vpn wasn't setting up
a gateway, so I had him turn off the vpn. But still the school server
was routing to the 3G usb modem dongle even with the vpn pipe closed
down.
How does the school server act like a router? It may be related to
the ppp connection and wdial configuration. But I'm stumped.
But I'm trying to bring myself up to speed quickly because he really
wants to get it turned off.
Any ideas on what to try next? I'm afraid the solution is going to be
to pull out the 3g dongle.
Interestingly the XS(*) creates an open path for any random non-XO
laptop to access the web, but seems to block non-web traffic like ssh
and IMAP.
In any case, even if it's just forwarding port 80 and 443 (?) we just
cannot afford to become a free ISP here in semi-rural Haiti, given so
many visitors to our school especially.
(*) XS as set up by Tony Anderson early autumn 2011, and currently
maintained by George Hunt & I.
