sharing mobile data through usb tethering

[deb75]

Thanks for yous answeer.

I will try the script you provided, but I doubt it will work because the forward iptable rules operates on the ipv4 stack
whereas my wwan interface has only a ipv6 address. I do not think they can communicate, as far as I understand.

Did the  script work? ipv6  wwan address should not be of concern.

Hi,

Yes it worked.

I endded up by performing an ipv6 nat :

Code:

#!/bin/sh
PATH='/sbin'

if [ "x$1" != "xusb0"] || [ "x$2" != "xup" ];
then
    return 0
fi

sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.usb0.accept_ra=2
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.usb0.autoconf=1

# Allow all incoming traffic from local area network interface.
ip6tables -t filter -A INPUT -i usb0 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT

# Enable access traffic, from the firewall to the LAN network
ip6tables -t filter -A OUTPUT -o usb0 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT

# Forward packages from the internal network (usb0) to the internet (wwan0).
ip6tables -t filter -A FORWARD -i usb0 -o wwan0 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT

# Masquerade packets going into the internet (wwan0).
ip6tables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wwan0 -j MASQUERADE

# Allow ssh from usb0
ip6tables -t filter -A INPUT -i usb0 -p tcp --dport 22 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT

Also, I set up radvd : (/etc/radvd.conf)

Code:

interface usb0 {
        AdvSendAdvert on;
        MinRtrAdvInterval 3;
        MaxRtrAdvInterval 10;
        prefix fd00:2016:22:dec::/64 {
                AdvOnLink on;
                AdvAutonomous on;
                AdvRouterAddr on;
        };
};

The prefix above is the ULA (Unique Local Address) ipv6 of the usb0 interface.

There should be a better way as one of the ipv6 goal is to eliminate the need of network address translation (nat).
