Hello,

My linux setup for years has included lxc containers to isolate services and 
programs with a 
bridge, shorewall and dnsmasq managing access of the containers to the host, 
each other 
and the outside network (via the hosts NICs). All of the required 
configurations are ansibled, 
so it takes comparatively little time to set all for this up - yet also implies 
a lack of oversight ... 
which came to bite me.

The bridge has assigned 192.168.0.1 and the corresponding subnet.

My /etc/shorewall/zones looks like this:
fw              firewall
net             ipv4
dmz             ipv4

The /etc/shorewall/interfaces like so:
net             enp0s+          
dhcp,tcpflags,logmartians,nosmurfs,optional
net             wlp2s+          
dhcp,tcpflags,logmartians,nosmurfs,optional
dmz             br0             
tcpflags,logmartians,nosmurfs,bridge,routeback

The /etc/shorewall/masq like this:
wlp2s+ 192.168.0.0/16

When entering a new subnet and setting up a fresh machine I failed to recognize 
that the 
subnet used was actually 192.168.0.0 and with above setup managed to 
involuntarily 
interfere with the routing outside of my machine.

The main question here is: is there anything beyond paying attention to the 
subnets used 
that either me (in my configuration) or the local admin (in his setup) could 
have done to 
prevent the interference?
Am I correct in the assumption that correctly adding 
"enp20s+ 192.168.0.0/16" to the masq file (it was unfortunately an enp* 
interface I used) 
would have prevented much of the issue?

Thank you for any insight into this.

Sincerely, Joh
