Things I did

Open ports on pi-star

Categories: Notes
Tags: ham radio pi-star

Setting up tinc and wireguard on pistar requires opening the network ports. The standard port for tinc is 655.

	iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 655 -j ACCEPT
	iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 655 -j ACCEPT

	iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 51781 -j ACCEPT
	iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 51781 -j ACCEPT

For a permanent opening of the ports at the lines above to /etc/iptables.rules without the iptables in front.

When pi-star is updated the /etc/iptables.rules are updated and ports are closed again. I am searching for a more permanent solution.

Update January 15th, 2025:

I checked my setup and now the user iptables rules are now needed to be put in /root/ipv4.fw and not anymore in /etc/iptables.rules.
