ThanksâŚ
mdns-repeater red0 green0
is not working
mdns-repeater green0 red0
is not working
mdns-repeater tun0 green0
is not working
mdns-repeater green0 tun0
is not working
i wood like to use an Printer over an OpenVPN Connection
EDIT:
mdns-repeater -f green0 tun0
mdns-repeater: dev green0 addr 192.168.2.1 mask 255.255.255.0 net 192.168.2.0
mdns-repeater: dev tun0 addr 10.31.29.1 mask 255.255.255.255 net 10.31.29.1
data from=192.168.2.28 size=221
repeating data to tun0
mdns-repeater -f tun0 green0
mdns-repeater: dev tun0 addr 10.31.29.1 mask 255.255.255.255 net 10.31.29.1
mdns-repeater: dev green0 addr 192.168.2.1 mask 255.255.255.0 net 192.168.2.0
data from=192.168.2.21 size=45
repeating data to tun0
both are sending data to tun0
Hi,
hope this helps https://forum.ipfire.org/viewtopic.php?t=22722
Edit: To preserve the form the whole again machine translated:
Well, maybe someone will face the same problem in the future.
The Airprint discovery runs via multicasts, which are normally used by the
Firewall can not be processed.
The package âmdns-repeaterâ must be installed for this. As far as I have seen the packet is already preconfigured to process the multicasts green<->blue. By adjusting the Startup-Config file or by a simple call in the shell (e.g. mdns-repeater red0 orange0) the other networks can also be handled.
A network for multicasts must then be defined (224.0.0.0/24).
Allow firewall outgoing from green and blue to this network.
If you want to print via airprint a unicast will be used,
therefore destination port 631 TCP must be allowed from blue to green.

How can i create an network for multicast tun0 <-> green0 ?
This wiki is not enough for me to make this AddOn WorkingâŚ
Hi,
OpenVPN on IPFire works in routing mode so multicast/broadcast will not be transferred via the tunnel. For this, you would need a bridged mode.
Best,
Erik
Do you mean the âredirect Gatewayâ setting in OpenVPN? This is active for my connection
No i mean the OpenVPN operating mode in general (âdev tun). Bridged mode needs ââdev tapâ which works on layer 2. routing mode works in layer 3 so multicast/broadcast can not be transferred.
Best,
Erik
Okay, thats to complicated to use it 6 times a year
I donât get it. Why do you need mDNS for accessing a printer via a OpenVPN connection?
because I am an Mac and iOS User. I use âAirPrint/ Bonjourâ to access my Network printerâŚ
No, i didnât test it⌠I donât like printserver⌠they cut printer functions
possibly yes.
Best,
Erik
Yes, they do.
Sometimes avoiding toner massacre and paper extermination.
Sometimes providing an interface for something that does not have one, Just like an old serial plotter that did not have any driver, shared as a PostScript printer via CUPS, or providing AirPrint capabilities to an old Epson SX620FW
That would be great if that would work in IPFire
Hell no, a tweak to Windows did the trick. Share the printer, install iTunes, add an old software by ElpamSoft and a little firewall exception (UDP 5353).
But i managed to let a old friend to print to his Epson via PC from his iPad. Far cheaper than Printopia or buy a new device (he has a lot of tanks and he donât want to buy something if the old one has not problems or missing something really necessary).
Hi DJ-Melo,
I think, your translation is quite good an gives me a roadmap to go.
Just one question, which is not 100% clear to me right now.
How do I assign a network 224.0.0.0/24 to a MULTICAST?
Thanx in advance for your help here

welcome. Sorry I donât know. Maybe others can help.
