Hello,

When I switched from OpenWrt to LEDE static routes configured on my network stopped working.

My configuration is as follows:


                          Internet ADSL
                                |
                                |
Internet ADSL                Router C
[Dynamic IP]              [Public Subnet P]
      |                         |
      |                 Address on Subnet P
  Router B                   Router A -------------- VPN to 192.168.2.0
 192.168.1.5               192.168.1.1
      |                         |
      |                         |
      --------------------------- [Private LAN 192.168.1.0]
        |
     Host X
    Default Router 192.168.1.5


Router A is configured to Masquerade traffic from 192.168.1.0 through its port on Subnet P
Router C is the default router for Public Subnet P
Router B is configured with a static route to Public Subnet P through 192.168.1.1 I want traffic from Hosts with 192.168.1.5 default route to Public Subnet P to go via 192.168.1.1 (instead of through the internet) I want traffic from Hosts with 192.168.1.5 default route to VPN 192.168.2.0 to go via 192.168.1.1 On Router B I configure a static route directing traffic for Public Subnet P through 192.168.1.1 On Router B I configure a static route directing traffic for VPN 192.168.2.0 through 192.168.1.1

Behaviour from Host X:

- Using OpenWRT (any version including latest trunk):
  I can ping any host on Public Subnet P or VPN 192.168.2.0
I can http/https, use any protocol to any host on Public Subnet P or VPN 192.168.2.0

- Using LEDE up to build r2713 (the latest i tried)
I can ping any host on Public Subnet or VPN 192.168.2.0
Any attempt to connect using any other internet protocol to any host in Public Subnet P or VPN 192.168.2.0 fails.

However if I disable Masquerading or the firewall altogether in Router B my connections succeed.

It looks as if response packets are somehow blocked by the firewall before they reach Host X (I can see connections coming on the hosts in Public Subnet P, and responses returning, but not reaching Host X).

I tried to add s specific directive to the Router B firewall to let through packets from Public Subnet P, but it is not working. The only workaround I found working is to create a SNAT rule on Router B to Rewrite the source IP to 192.168.1.5 with destination Public Subnet P. This however should be un-necessary if the routing worked properly.

When I use OperWRT and I ping hosts on Subnet P from Host X I get an initial notification that the router is 192.168.1.1.
With LEDE installed I do not get such notification.


Are you aware of what was changed in LEDE that makes static routes no longer work properly?

Thank you in advance.
