Ipfire on Azure

Hi Community,

new with ipfire, I managed to create a vhd Image with ipfire-2.29-core192-x86_64 that starts in Azure, with green/orange/red Interfaces. All is running well -except that I cannot access the System via green or orange Interface. Only ssh via red Interface is possible.
The /var/log/messages tells me the following:

Apr 28 09:50:21 ipfire kernel: IPv4: martian source 10.149.20.4 from 10.149.240.2, on dev green0

the green Interface has the 10.149.20.4/24 address assigned, but the underlying Azure vNet has several address ranges (10.149.0.0/17 (and a subnet with the 10.149.20.0/24), 10.149.128.0/18) and peered vNets via vWAN with even more address ranges. The 10.149.240.0/24 is a VPN P2S addresspool with my Laptop connected via VPN.

When I try to connect from a system that is part of the 10.149.20.0/24 network, it works. So I configured FW Rules, that allow access with ICMP, and the Port 444 via green from the above mentioned networks (of course, from the 10.149.240.0/24 net).

This seems not to be working -the /var/log/messages still show the message with martian address, when I try to connect to the 10.149.20.4 address. So I think this has something to do with an underlying function or a configuration in Linux?

How can I manage ipfire to allow access from systems outside the 10.149.20.0/24 network? Especially, if I want to access Internet and use the ipfire Appliance as the default gw?

Hello Patrick,

I would recommend to reach out to Lightning Wire Labs for commercial support. You will need hands-on support instead of making this a community question.

Best,
