Certainly! Here's a step-by-step guide to set up policy-based routing for your scenario:
Step 1: Enable IP Forwarding
-
Edit the sysctl configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
-
Uncomment or add the following line to enable IP forwarding:
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
-
Save and close the file.
-
Apply the changes:
sudo sysctl -p
Step 2: Configure Policy-Based Routing
-
Create routing tables and rules for each domain.
# Create a new routing table for foo.com echo "200 foo" >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables # Add a route to the foo.com routing table sudo ip route add foo.com via 10.10.10.10 table foo # Add a rule to use the foo.com routing table for traffic destined to foo.com sudo ip rule add to 10.10.10.10 lookup foo
# Create a new routing table for bar.com echo "201 bar" >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables # Add a route to the bar.com routing table sudo ip route add bar.com via 10.10.10.20 table bar # Add a rule to use the bar.com routing table for traffic destined to bar.com sudo ip rule add to 10.10.10.20 lookup bar
Step 3: Test the Configuration
- Test connectivity to each domain from an external source to ensure that traffic is routed correctly.
Step 4: Make Configuration Persistent (Optional)
-
Create a script to apply the routing rules on system startup. For example, create a script named
policy-routing.sh
:sudo nano /etc/network/if-up.d/policy-routing.sh
-
Add the following contents to the script:
#!/bin/bash # Add routing tables and rules echo "200 foo" >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables ip route add foo.com via 10.10.10.10 table foo ip rule add to 10.10.10.10 lookup foo echo "201 bar" >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables ip route add bar.com via 10.10.10.20 table bar ip rule add to 10.10.10.20 lookup bar
-
Make the script executable:
sudo chmod +x /etc/network/if-up.d/policy-routing.sh
-
The script will be automatically executed whenever a network interface is brought up.
Notes:
- Ensure that the routing tables and rules are set up correctly. Errors can lead to misrouted traffic or network connectivity issues.
- Regularly monitor and test the setup to ensure it continues to function as expected, especially after system updates or changes to network configurations.
This guide should help you set up policy-based routing on your VPS to forward traffic based on domain names without relying on iptables
. Adjust the configurations as necessary for your specific network setup and requirements.
