Access from LAN to LAN webservers with direct proxy not working

Oxigen XG

Hello,

our environment is as follows:

LAN with multiple webservers with multiple domains.

Public DNS is set to XG external IP. Internal DNS servers for these domains are not setup, but DNS forwarders are working correctly, resolving to XP external IP.

WAN access to LAN webservers with WAF works correctly.

LAN access to LAN webservers with direct proxy (3128) gives error 502. Network rule allowing LAN to LAN webservers seems to work, as traffic is logged as allowed.

We have tried a DNAT rule with the same 502 error, with and without MASQ.

If we create DNS records in the internal DNS server pointing to LAN webserver's IPs, everything works correctly. But as we have multiple domains, we would prefer not to create multiple zones and records in our internal dns servers.

Is there a way from LAN to access LAN webservers with direct proxy and no internal DNS records?

Thank you,

Lluís

    Hi Lluís,

    am I understanding this right:

    You are trying to access your internal webserver from an internal address by making the firewall assume that the access is coming from outside and using the external DNS server for name resoultion?

    What is happening with the packets. Switch on logging on the involved rules; create an explicit deny. Or do an tcpdump on the wan interface/external IP address.

    Are you using the same DNS zone internally and externally (Split DNS).

    Putting the Webserver into a DMZ zone would make the configuration much clearer.

    Hi BeEf,

     

    you are understanding it right. I would like to access my internal web servers from LAN (with multiple domains), using external name resolution, and with direct proxy.

    These domains don't have DNS zones created internally. DNS resolution from internal client to these domains works correctly pointing to our external IP.

    I know creating a DMZ zone would improve some things, including security, but we are not able to set it up soon.

    XG Web filter log shows outgoing traffic as allowed by a network rule. 

    XG Web server protection log shows no incoming traffic (for this test), as if DNAT rule is not working as expected (traffic coming from outside the LAN works well).

     

    Thank you,

    I guess this is a matter of order.

    Who says that the DNAT rule is processed by the webfilter afterwards?

    This could be the reason that you only see outgoing traffic.

    In order to see whats happeing you need to go at least on the level of ssh and tcpdump of the interfaces.

    Hi BeEf,

    I have captured some traffic with ssh and tcpdump.

    Being the test client PC-XXXX (10.0.3.120), the internal web server SV-XXXX, Sophos internal IP (10.0.0.40).

     

    tcpdump '(src host 10.0.3.120 and dst port 3128) or (src host 10.0.0.40 and dst port 80)'
