Web interface timed out accessed from public network behind NAT

Hello everyone, here is the simplified network diagram:

[Internet]==[Firewall]==[Switch]==[Graylog]

The firewall is doing 1-to-1 SNAT to the graylog. I can easily access the server from the private subnet. From Internet, however, it timed out (see the following screenshot:)

The graylog config file beginning at HTTP settings:


###############
# HTTP settings
###############

#### HTTP bind address
#
# The network interface used by the Graylog HTTP interface.
#
# This network interface must be accessible by all Graylog nodes in the cluster and by all clients
# using the Graylog web interface.
#
# If the port is omitted, Graylog will use port 9000 by default.
#
# Default: 127.0.0.1:9000
#http_bind_address = 127.0.0.1:9000
#http_bind_address = [2001:db8::1]:9000
http_bind_address = 192.168.169.100:9000
#### HTTP publish URI
#
# The HTTP URI of this Graylog node which is used to communicate with the other Graylog nodes in the cluster and by all
# clients using the Graylog web interface.
#
# The URI will be published in the cluster discovery APIs, so that other Graylog nodes will be able to find and connect to this Graylog node.
#
# This configuration setting has to be used if this Graylog node is available on another network interface than $http_bind_address,
# for example if the machine has multiple network interfaces or is behind a NAT gateway.
#
# If $http_bind_address contains a wildcard IPv4 address (0.0.0.0), the first non-loopback IPv4 address of this machine will be used.
# This configuration setting *must not* contain a wildcard address!
#
# Default: http://$http_bind_address/
#http_publish_uri = http://192.168.1.1:9000/

#### External Graylog URI
#
# The public URI of Graylog which will be used by the Graylog web interface to communicate with the Graylog REST API.
#
# The external Graylog URI usually has to be specified, if Graylog is running behind a reverse proxy or load-balancer
# and it will be used to generate URLs addressing entities in the Graylog REST API (see $http_bind_address).
#
# When using Graylog Collector, this URI will be used to receive heartbeat messages and must be accessible for all collectors.

Thanks in advance for any help.

SNAT is needed for packets from Graylog to Internet.
For packets from Internet to Graylog you need to configure DNAT or port forwarding, so firewall_public_ip:firewall_public_port will be mapped to 192.168.169.100:9000

thanks zoulja for the suggestion,

I also tried the DstNAT way and the outcome is the same. The browser keeps loading the webpage and eventually times out.

I even changed the firewall from a different vendor but it did not work.

But thanks for your response.

You don’t need to guess and try to change vendors, you just need to understand network flow clearly, including routing(L3) and ports usage(L4).

Of course it requires a little bit practice, have a pen and a paper and draw a packet’s path, both incoming and outgoing, asking yourself what’s the route and policy is used on each hop to proceed this packet

I can assist if you still have some questions

Thanks. I think the policy on the firewall is alright. So I think there must be something wrong with the graylog config but I can’t figure it out.

the problem is - that http_external_uri need to be the URL where your browser can reach Graylog.

I guess you can’t reach http://192.168.1.1:9000/ when you are not locally connected.

thanks jan,

does that mean the server must attach to a NIC with public IP address and add the http_external_url = <Public_IP> to the config file?

I want to keep the Graylog server behind the firewall and I don’t want to use proxy.

Simple NAT setup really impossible?

he @bbfunde

no that is not impossible - but you needed to have the header x-graylog-server-uri ingested that your Browser knows where to connect to Graylog.

Cause Graylog is actually a browser application that connects to a backend API - what is the Graylog server - it always needs to know how to access the backend.

Thanks @jan for the help.

Sorry I am not familiar with Linux, could you help tell me how to set the http header in Graylog server or point me to a reference?

Do I need to install and use Nginx or Apache on the server?

Thanks again.

he @bbfunde

you need to set http_external_uri in the graylog server.conf

https://docs.graylog.org/en/3.2/pages/configuration/server.conf.html#web-rest-api

OR

you need to install nginx/apache/haproxy (or any other proxy system you like to use) that can add the http header into the stream from Graylog to your Browser.

In clear words, you need either on the system where you enter the network (the NAT host) a browser or on you local machine.

OR

you use some kind of browser add-on that enables you to ingest the header.

yes, I can access it now after using the modify header add-on and add the X-Graylog-Server-URL http://<public_IP>:9000 header.

Much thanks to @jan for all the advice you have been giving.
