Betreff: Re: [DNG] Can't ping outside of my network after having configured a tun tap device
Okay, let me try to explain (Friday is the excuse)

I know nothing about qemu-kvm-libvirt, but at a glance it should
facilitate networking a lot, but I don't know how. Let's turn to the
basics instead.

If you chose tap, which afaik is a way to handle ethernet frames in
userspace, the handler could be any userspace process (e.g.
qemu-kvm-libvirt). So your tap0 is actually one end of the wire. The
opposite end is somewhere in qemu-kvm-libvirt (again, I know nothing
about it, I'm an LXC user) and to reach that end you need the following
route on your host system:


ip route add 192.168.99.0/24 dev tap0

So if you ping some IP address in 192.168.99.0networkfrom the host
system, packets will be routed to your virtualized system and if it has
that IP address it will respond. Of course that system should have the
default route back to 192.168.99.1

Same in LXC, where we use veth, which is a pair of linked interfaces:
one is on the host system, another is assigned to the container .

You do not need a bridge interface.

Once again:

You do not need a bridge interface. In this configuration packets come
from a virtualized system and go through NAT to mlan0. Your NAT rule

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o mlan0 -j MASQUERADE

looks correct.

The only reason you can't ping 8.8.8.8 even from the host system is
messy routes. Assuming your mlan0 is the way to the Internet, the only
default route should be:

default via 192.168.1.1 dev mlan0

With these ones

0.0.0.0 dev tap0 scope link

default dev tap0 scope link

packets will be directed to the wrong interface and embarrass your
virtualized system. Drop these routes.

You would need a bridge if you wanted your host system and virtualized
system to be on the same ethernet network (domain, segment,...) However,
bear in mind: wifi interfaces in client mode cannot be bridged. In
access point mode that does work, but does not work in client mode. Only
wired interfaces can be freely bridged.
