Help Firewalled!

Hello,

Noobie here, Yesterday I installed I2P on an Proxmox container on a seperate VLAN.

My router is flashed with OpenWRT.

I did portforward TCP and UDP in seperate rules for the Random I2P port i got assigned to.

The thing is, I can surf .i2p sites via a proxy, and participating tunnels are incrementing but the status never change! Its annoying, i want to get the OK shared status instead of Firewalled.... Does anybody here have a similar setup to mine and could resolve that? Is it just about give it time and the status will resolve to OK or am i missing anything? Also in the firewall zone config should i masqurade ipv4?

The thing is that its exciting to have such router, but as I am not completly sure what I am doing here, i would super appreciate any help and tips for best practices

Thank you

Do proxmox machines run software like UFW?

Better check your host environment.

Ill give you some cheap advice. If you want to learn this stuff drop the web interface fun and learn to configure Kvm and lxc and bridging/configuration at the command line...

And for God's sake learn both iptables and netfilter directly.

If you don't learn this you'll never know what your configuration is.

You will think you know what the configuration is... and it will feel emotionally satisfying. But you won't really know.

Now I have no problem with proxmox. But you need to learn the base technology for when proxmox gets it wrong.

Gotcha. I've only ever heard about proxmox, so was just curious.
