Rejoicing at the idle capacity of the server, I set up a zoo of virtual machines on it. Installed XP, 2003, 7.0. In the firewall (Kerio Winroute) I added a rule that everything is allowed for anyone in the “virtual servers” group. In VMWare, the network type for each machine is “Bridged”. That is, their IPs are from the local network and they are visible — the Windows ones via NetBIOS/RDP and the FreeBSD one via SSH. There is a machine on the network with an ADSL connection, configured as a transparent gateway. It is set as the default gateway in all the virtual machines. And all of them show the same picture — the world is pingable (I checked against Yandex), but http/ftp does not work. Not at all. I already mentioned that the outbound access is open in the firewall. I tried all kinds of additional rules — for the server group, for the IP, for all ports, for port 80 — nothing works. Ping is there, traffic does not flow. After a week of poking around I decided the problem is still in Kerio. My suspicion is that this bastard somehow additionally filters popular protocols — I found something about HTTP and FTP inspectors in it. I disabled them, i.e. created services without these inspectors — did not help. Disabled anti-spoofing, jumped on my left leg, spun around three times at full moon — same result. Are there any Kerio users among the few readers of this journal? Tell me — where is the bottleneck?
