Traffic misidentification on routing host #447

Open

Description

@cyqsimon

Three machines are involved here:

  • My personal laptop A, connected to the local network (green).
  • The server S that routes traffic between the local network and the OpenVPN subnet, on which bandwhich is running.
    • S has two addresses - a local network address Slocal and an OpenVPN subnet address Svpn.
  • A remote client machine B connected to the OpenVPN subnet (cyan).
    • B has two addresses - a public address Bpub and an OpenVPN subnet address Bvpn.

Misidentified traffic

Here I am initiating a file transfer on A using scp from A to Bvpn, so on layer 4 the connection should be from A:56994 to Bvpn:22.

But bandwhich seems to believe that it's from A:56994 to Slocal:22 instead, and by extension believes that this traffic should be attributed to the local sshd process.


I think I've got some clues on what's wrong. Help welcomed nonetheless.
