I am trying to run sshuttle on Sailfish 3.3.0.16.
sshuttle is a simple proxy (VPN) for tcp which only needs ssh on the server side
see: https://github.com/sshuttle/sshuttle
I can sucessfully clone the repository and install via provided script (needed python3-setuptools and a symlink from python3 to python)
When I want to start the client I get an error:
iptables -t nat -A sshuttle-12300 -j RETURN -m addrtype --dst-type LOCAL ! -p udp
iptables v1.8.2 (legacy): Couldn’t load match `addrtype’:No such file or directory
How can I run sshuttle on SailfishOS?
Thanks, palim
Availability of this match type depends on the kernel your phone runs. My JP1301 does not have a support module for this:
[nemo@jp1301 ~]$ zcat /proc/config.gz |grep -i addrtype
# CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_ADDRTYPE is not set
On newer phones with newer kernels, the configuration may not be accessible at /proc/config.gz, but the mechanism to identify kernel module support should be similar.
zcat /proc/config.gz |grep -i addrtype
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_ADDRTYPE is not set
uname -a
Linux [xxx] 3.10.84 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Feb 16 19:24:33 UTC 2020 aarch64 GNU/Linux
So no luck until a newer kernel with enabled netfilter module.
Aargh, any suggestions for a simple VPN?
Thanks.
sshuttle would be an ideal “poor man’s” VPN without the need for setting up a complicated network and certificates. All you need is a working ssh login at the target, nothing else. I am using it regularly on my desktop and it works quite well.
