## Relations between subsystems
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## First startup
|
|
|
|
The first application startup is detected when there's no .yaml configuration file.
|
|
|
|
We check if the user is root, otherwise we fail with an error.
|
|
|
|
Web server is started up on port 3000 and automatically redirects requests to `/` to Installation wizard.
|
|
|
|
After Installation wizard steps are completed, we write configuration to a file and start normal operation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation wizard
|
|
|
|
This is the collection of UI screens that are shown to a user on first application startup.
|
|
|
|
The screens are:
|
|
|
|
1. Welcome
|
|
2. Set up network interface and listening ports for Web and DNS servers
|
|
3. Set up administrator username and password
|
|
4. Configuration complete
|
|
5. Done
|
|
|
|
Algorithm:
|
|
|
|
Screen 2:
|
|
* UI asks server for initial information and shows it
|
|
* User edits the default settings, clicks on "Next" button
|
|
* UI asks server to check new settings
|
|
* Server searches for the known issues
|
|
* UI shows information about the known issues and the means to fix them
|
|
* Server applies automatic fixes of the known issues on command from UI
|
|
|
|
Screen 3:
|
|
* UI asks server to apply the configuration
|
|
* Server restarts DNS server
|
|
|
|
|
|
### "Get install settings" command
|
|
|
|
Request:
|
|
|
|
GET /control/install/get_addresses
|
|
|
|
Response:
|
|
|
|
200 OK
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"web_port":80,
|
|
"dns_port":53,
|
|
"interfaces":{
|
|
"enp2s0":{"name":"enp2s0","mtu":1500,"hardware_address":"","ip_addresses":["",""],"flags":"up|broadcast|multicast"},
|
|
"lo":{"name":"lo","mtu":65536,"hardware_address":"","ip_addresses":["127.0.0.1","::1"],"flags":"up|loopback"},
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
If `interfaces.flags` doesn't contain `up` flag, UI must show `(Down)` status next to its IP address in interfaces selector.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### "Check configuration" command
|
|
|
|
Request:
|
|
|
|
POST /control/install/check_config
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"web":{"port":80,"ip":"192.168.11.33"},
|
|
"dns":{"port":53,"ip":"127.0.0.1","autofix":false},
|
|
"set_static_ip": true | false
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Server should check whether a port is available only in case it itself isn't already listening on that port.
|
|
|
|
If `set_static_ip` is `true`, Server attempts to set a static IP for the network interface chosen by `dns.ip` setting. If the operation is successful, `static_ip.static` setting will be `yes`. If it fails, `static_ip.static` setting will be set to `error` and `static_ip.error` will contain the error message.
|
|
|
|
Server replies on success:
|
|
|
|
200 OK
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"web":{"status":""},
|
|
"dns":{"status":""},
|
|
"static_ip": {
|
|
"static": "yes|no|error",
|
|
"ip": "<Current dynamic IP address>", // set if static=no
|
|
"error": "..." // set if static=error
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
If `static_ip.static` is `no`, Server has detected that the system uses a dynamic address and it can automatically set a static address if `set_static_ip` in request is `true`. See section `Static IP check/set` for detailed process.
|
|
|
|
Server replies on error:
|
|
|
|
200 OK
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"web":{"status":"ERROR MESSAGE"},
|
|
"dns":{"status":"ERROR MESSAGE", "can_autofix": true|false},
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Disable DNSStubListener
|
|
|
|
On Linux, if 53 port is not available, server performs several additional checks to determine if the issue can be fixed automatically.
|
|
|
|
#### Phase 1
|
|
|
|
Request:
|
|
|
|
POST /control/install/check_config
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"dns":{
|
|
"port":53,
|
|
"ip":"127.0.0.1",
|
|
"autofix":false
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Check if DNSStubListener is enabled:
|
|
|
|
systemctl is-enabled systemd-resolved
|
|
|
|
Check if DNSStubListener is active:
|
|
|
|
grep -E '#?DNSStubListener=yes' /etc/systemd/resolved.conf
|
|
|
|
If the issue can be fixed automatically, server replies with `"can_autofix":true`
|
|
|
|
200 OK
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"dns":{"status":"ERROR MESSAGE", "can_autofix":true},
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
In this case UI shows "Fix" button next to error message.
|
|
|
|
#### Phase 2
|
|
|
|
If user clicks on "Fix" button, UI sends request to perform an automatic fix
|
|
|
|
POST /control/install/check_config
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"dns":{"port":53,"ip":"127.0.0.1","autofix":true},
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Deactivate DNSStubListener and update DNS server address. Create a new file: `/etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/adguardhome.conf` (create a `/etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d` directory if necessary):
|
|
|
|
[Resolve]
|
|
DNS=127.0.0.1
|
|
DNSStubListener=no
|
|
|
|
Specifying "127.0.0.1" as DNS server address is necessry because otherwise the nameserver will be "127.0.0.53" which doesn't work without DNSStubListener.
|
|
|
|
Activate another resolv.conf file:
|
|
|
|
mv /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.backup
|
|
ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
|
|
|
|
Stop DNSStubListener:
|
|
|
|
systemctl reload-or-restart systemd-resolved
|
|
|
|
Server replies:
|
|
|
|
200 OK
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"dns":{"status":""},
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
### "Apply configuration" command
|
|
|
|
Request:
|
|
|
|
POST /control/install/configure
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"web":{"port":80,"ip":"192.168.11.33"},
|
|
"dns":{"port":53,"ip":"127.0.0.1"},
|
|
"username":"u",
|
|
"password":"p",
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Server checks the parameters once again, restarts DNS server, replies:
|
|
|
|
200 OK
|
|
|
|
On error, server responds with code 400 or 500. In this case UI should show error message and reset to the beginning.
|
|
|
|
400 Bad Request
|
|
|
|
ERROR MESSAGE
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Updating
|
|
|
|
Algorithm of an update by command:
|
|
|
|
* UI requests the latest version information from Server
|
|
* Server requests information from Internet; stores the data in cache for several hours; sends data to UI
|
|
* If UI sees that a new version is available, it shows notification message and "Update Now" button
|
|
* When user clicks on "Update Now" button, UI sends Update command to Server
|
|
* UI shows "Please wait, AGH is being updated..." message
|
|
* Server performs an update:
|
|
* Use working directory from `--work-dir` if necessary
|
|
* Download new package for the current OS and CPU
|
|
* Unpack the package to a temporary directory `update-vXXX`
|
|
* Copy the current configuration file to the directory we unpacked new AGH to
|
|
* Check configuration compatibility by executing `./AGH --check-config`. If this command fails, we won't be able to update.
|
|
* Create `backup-vXXX` directory and copy the current configuration file there
|
|
* Copy supporting files (README, LICENSE, etc.) to backup directory
|
|
* Copy supporting files from the update directory to the current directory
|
|
* Move the current binary file to backup directory
|
|
* Note: if power fails here, AGH won't be able to start at system boot. Administrator has to fix it manually
|
|
* Move new binary file to the current directory
|
|
* Send response to UI
|
|
* Stop all tasks, including DNS server, DHCP server, HTTP server
|
|
* If AGH is running as a service, use service control functionality to restart
|
|
* If AGH is not running as a service, use the current process arguments to start a new process
|
|
* Exit process
|
|
* UI resends Get Status command until Server responds to it with the new version. This means that Server is successfully restarted after update.
|
|
* UI reloads itself
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Get version command
|
|
|
|
On receiving this request server downloads version.json data from github and stores it in cache for several hours.
|
|
|
|
Example of version.json data:
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"version": "v0.95-hotfix",
|
|
"announcement": "AdGuard Home v0.95-hotfix is now available!",
|
|
"announcement_url": "",
|
|
"download_windows_amd64": "",
|
|
"download_windows_386": "",
|
|
"download_darwin_amd64": "",
|
|
"download_linux_amd64": "",
|
|
"download_linux_386": "",
|
|
"download_linux_arm": "",
|
|
"download_linux_arm64": "",
|
|
"download_linux_mips": "",
|
|
"download_linux_mipsle": "",
|
|
"selfupdate_min_version": "v0.0"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Server can only auto-update if the current version is equal or higher than `selfupdate_min_version`.
|
|
|
|
Request:
|
|
|
|
POST /control/version.json
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"recheck_now": true | false // if false, server will check for a new version data only once in several hours
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Response:
|
|
|
|
200 OK
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"new_version": "v0.95",
|
|
"announcement": "AdGuard Home v0.95 is now available!",
|
|
"announcement_url": "http://...",
|
|
"can_autoupdate": true
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
If `can_autoupdate` is true, then the server can automatically upgrade to a new version.
|
|
|
|
Response with empty body:
|
|
|
|
200 OK
|
|
|
|
It means that update check is disabled by user. UI should do nothing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Update command
|
|
|
|
Perform an update procedure to the latest available version
|
|
|
|
Request:
|
|
|
|
POST /control/update
|
|
|
|
Response:
|
|
|
|
200 OK
|
|
|
|
Error response:
|
|
|
|
500
|
|
|
|
UI shows error message "Auto-update has failed"
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Enable DHCP server
|
|
|
|
Algorithm:
|
|
|
|
* UI shows DHCP configuration screen with "Enabled DHCP" button disabled, and "Check DHCP" button enabled
|
|
* User clicks on "Check DHCP"; UI sends request to server
|
|
* Server may fail to detect whether there is another DHCP server working in the network. In this case UI shows a warning.
|
|
* Server may detect that a dynamic IP configuration is used for this interface. In this case UI shows a warning.
|
|
* UI enables "Enable DHCP" button
|
|
* User clicks on "Enable DHCP"; UI sends request to server
|
|
* Server sets a static IP (if necessary), enables DHCP server, sends the status back to UI
|
|
* UI shows the status
|
|
|
|
|
|
### "Show DHCP status" command
|
|
|
|
Request:
|
|
|
|
GET /control/dhcp/status
|
|
|
|
Response:
|
|
|
|
200 OK
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"config":{
|
|
"enabled":false,
|
|
"interface_name":"...",
|
|
"gateway_ip":"...",
|
|
"subnet_mask":"...",
|
|
"range_start":"...",
|
|
"range_end":"...",
|
|
"lease_duration":60,
|
|
"icmp_timeout_msec":0
|
|
},
|
|
"leases":[
|
|
{"ip":"...","mac":"...","hostname":"...","expires":"..."}
|
|
...
|
|
],
|
|
"static_leases":[
|
|
{"ip":"...","mac":"...","hostname":"..."}
|
|
...
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
### "Check DHCP" command
|
|
|
|
Request:
|
|
|
|
POST /control/dhcp/find_active_dhcp
|
|
|
|
vboxnet0
|
|
|
|
Response:
|
|
|
|
200 OK
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"other_server": {
|
|
"found": "yes|no|error",
|
|
"error": "Error message", // set if found=error
|
|
},
|
|
"static_ip": {
|
|
"static": "yes|no|error",
|
|
"ip": "<Current dynamic IP address>", // set if static=no
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
If `other_server.found` is:
|
|
* `no`: everything is fine - there is no other DHCP server
|
|
* `yes`: we found another DHCP server. UI shows a warning.
|
|
* `error`: we failed to determine whether there's another DHCP server. `other_server.error` contains error details. UI shows a warning.
|
|
|
|
If `static_ip.static` is:
|
|
* `yes`: everything is fine - server uses static IP address.
|
|
|
|
* `no`: `static_ip.ip` contains the current dynamic IP address which we may set as static. In this case UI shows a warning:
|
|
|
|
Your system uses dynamic IP address configuration for interface <CURRENT INTERFACE NAME>. In order to use DHCP server a static IP address must be set. Your current IP address is <static_ip.ip>. We will automatically set this IP address as static if you press Enable DHCP button.
|
|
|
|
* `error`: this means that the server failed to check for a static IP. In this case UI shows a warning:
|
|
|
|
In order to use DHCP server a static IP address must be set. We failed to determine if this network interface is configured using static IP address. Please set a static IP address manually.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### "Enable DHCP" command
|
|
|
|
Request:
|
|
|
|
POST /control/dhcp/set_config
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"enabled":true,
|
|
"interface_name":"vboxnet0",
|
|
"gateway_ip":"192.169.56.1",
|
|
"subnet_mask":"255.255.255.0",
|
|
"range_start":"192.169.56.3",
|
|
"range_end":"192.169.56.3",
|
|
"lease_duration":60,
|
|
"icmp_timeout_msec":0
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Response:
|
|
|
|
200 OK
|
|
|
|
OK
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Static IP check/set
|
|
|
|
Before enabling DHCP server we have to make sure the network interface we use has a static IP configured.
|
|
|
|
#### Phase 1
|
|
|
|
On Debian systems DHCP is configured by `/etc/dhcpcd.conf`.
|
|
|
|
To detect if a static IP is used currently we search for line
|
|
|
|
interface eth0
|
|
|
|
and then look for line
|
|
|
|
static ip_address=...
|
|
|
|
If the interface already has a static IP, everything is set up, we don't have to change anything.
|
|
|
|
To get the current IP address along with netmask we execute
|
|
|
|
ip -oneline -family inet address show eth0
|
|
|
|
which will print:
|
|
|
|
2: eth0 inet 192.168.0.1/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global eth0\ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
|
|
|
|
To get the current gateway address:
|
|
|
|
ip route show dev enp2s0
|
|
|
|
which will print:
|
|
|
|
default via 192.168.0.1 proto dhcp metric 100
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Phase 2 (Raspbian)
|
|
|
|
Step 1.
|
|
|
|
To set a static IP address we add these lines to `dhcpcd.conf`:
|
|
|
|
interface eth0
|
|
static ip_address=192.168.0.1/24
|
|
static routers=192.168.0.1
|
|
static domain_name_servers=192.168.0.1
|
|
|
|
* Don't set 'routers' if we couldn't find gateway IP
|
|
* Set 'domain_name_servers' equal to our IP
|
|
|
|
Step 2.
|
|
|
|
If we would set a different IP address, we'd need to replace the IP address for the current network configuration. But currently this step isn't necessary.
|
|
|
|
ip addr replace dev eth0 192.168.0.1/24
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Phase 2 (Ubuntu)
|
|
|
|
`/etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml` or `/etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml`
|
|
|
|
This configuration example has a static IP set for `enp0s3` interface:
|
|
|
|
network:
|
|
version: 2
|
|
renderer: networkd
|
|
ethernets:
|
|
enp0s3:
|
|
dhcp4: no
|
|
addresses: [192.168.0.2/24]
|
|
gateway: 192.168.0.1
|
|
nameservers:
|
|
addresses: [192.168.0.1,8.8.8.8]
|
|
|
|
For dynamic configuration `dhcp4: yes` is set.
|
|
|
|
Make a backup copy to `/etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml.backup`.
|
|
|
|
Apply:
|
|
|
|
netplan apply
|
|
|
|
Restart network:
|
|
|
|
systemctl restart networking
|
|
|
|
or:
|
|
|
|
systemctl restart network-manager
|
|
|
|
or:
|
|
|
|
systemctl restart system-networkd
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Add a static lease
|
|
|
|
Request:
|
|
|
|
POST /control/dhcp/add_static_lease
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"mac":"...",
|
|
"ip":"...",
|
|
"hostname":"..."
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Response:
|
|
|
|
200 OK
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Remove a static lease
|
|
|
|
Request:
|
|
|
|
POST /control/dhcp/remove_static_lease
|
|
|
|
{
|
|

## Device Names and Per-client Settings
|
|
|
|
When a client requests information from DNS server, he's identified by IP address.
|
|
Administrator can set a name for a client with a known IP and also override global settings for this client. The name is used to improve readability of DNS logs: client's name is shown in UI next to its IP address. The names are loaded from 3 sources:
|
|
* automatically from "/etc/hosts" file. It's a list of `IP<->Name` entries which is loaded once on AGH startup from "/etc/hosts" file.
|
|
* automatically using rDNS. It's a list of `IP<->Name` entries which is added in runtime using rDNS mechanism when a client first makes a DNS request.
|
|
* manually configured via UI. It's a list of client's names and their settings which is loaded from configuration file and stored on disk.
|
|
|
|
### Per-client settings
|
|
|
|
UI provides means to manage the list of known clients (List/Add/Update/Delete) and their settings. These settings are stored in configuration file as an array of objects.
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
* `name`, `ip` and `mac` values are unique.
|
|
|
|
* If `mac` is set and DHCP server is enabled, IP is taken from DHCP lease table.
|
|
|
|
* If `use_global_settings` is true, then DNS responses for this client are processed and filtered using global settings.
|
|
|
|
* If `use_global_settings` is false, then the client-specific settings are used to override (enable or disable) global settings.
|
|
|
|
* If `use_global_blocked_services` is false, then the client-specific settings are used to override (enable or disable) global Blocked Services settings.

## DNS access settings
|
|
|
|
There are low-level settings that can block undesired DNS requests. "Blocking" means not responding to request.
|
|
|
|
There are 3 types of access settings:
|
|
* allowed_clients: Only these clients are allowed to make DNS requests.
|
|
* disallowed_clients: These clients are not allowed to make DNS requests.
|
|
* blocked_hosts: These hosts are not allowed to be resolved by a DNS request.
|
|
|
|
|

## Rewrites
|
|
|
|
This section allows the administrator to easily configure custom DNS response for a specific domain name.
|
|
A, AAAA and CNAME records are supported.
|
|
|
|
Syntax:
|
|
|
|
key -> value
|
|
|
|
where `key` is a host name or a wild card that matches Question in DNS request
|
|
and `value` is either:
|
|
* IPv4 address: use this IP in A response
|
|
* IPv6 address: use this IP in AAAA response
|
|
* canonical name: add CNAME record
|
|
* "<key>": CNAME exception - pass request to upstream
|
|
* "A": A exception - pass A request to upstream
|
|
* "AAAA": AAAA exception - pass AAAA request to upstream
|
|
|
|
|

## Services Filter
|
|
|
|
Allows to quickly block popular sites globally or for specific client only.
|
|
UI manages these settings via global or per-client API.
|
|
UI and server have the same list of the services supported and this list must always be in synchronization.
|
|
UI code also contains icons for each service: `client/src/components/ui/Icons.js`.
|
|
|
|
How it works:
|
|
* UI presents the list of services which user may want to block
|
|
* Admin clicks on the checkboxes in front of the services to block and presses Save
|
|
* UI sends `Set blocked services list` or `Update client` message
|
|
* Server updates the internal configuration
|
|
* When a user sends a DNS request for a host which is blocked by these settings, he won't receive its IP address
|
|
* Query log will show that this request was blocked by "Blocked services"
|
|
|
|
Internally, all supported services are stored as a map:
|
|
|
|
service name -> list of rules
|
|
|
|
|
|

## Query logs
|
|
|
|
When a new DNS request is received and processed, we store information about this event in "query log". It is a file on disk in JSON format:
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"IP":"127.0.0.1", // client IP
|
|
"T":"...", // response time
|
|
"QH":"...", // target host name without the last dot
|
|
"QT":"...", // question type
|
|
"QC":"...", // question class
|
|
"CP":"" | "doh", // client connection protocol
|
|
"Answer":"base64 data",
|
|
"OrigAnswer":"base64 data",
|
|
"Result":{
|
|
"IsFiltered":true,
|
|
"Reason":3,
|
|
"Rule":"...",
|
|
"FilterID":1,
|
|
},
|
|
"Elapsed":12345,
|
|
"Upstream":"...",
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Adding new data
|
|
|
|
First, new data is stored in a memory region. When this array is filled to a particular amount of entries (e.g. 5000), we flush this data to a file and clear the array.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Getting data
|
|
|
|
When UI asks for data from query log (see "API: Get query log"), server reads the newest entries from memory array and the file. The maximum number of items returned per one request is limited by configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Removing old data
|
|
|
|
We store data for a limited amount of time - the log file is automatically rotated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### API: Get query log
|
|
|
|
Request:
|
|
|
|
GET /control/querylog
|
|
?older_than=2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999Z07:00
|
|
&search=...
|
|
&response_status="..."
|
|
|
|
`older_than` setting is used for paging. UI uses an empty value for `older_than` on the first request and gets the latest log entries. To get the older entries, UI sets `older_than` to the `oldest` value from the server's response.
|
|
|
|
If search settings are set, server returns only entries that match the specified request.
|
|
|
|
`search`:
|
|
match by domain name or client IP address.
|
|
The server matches substrings by default: e.g. `adguard.com` matches `www.adguard.com`.
|
|
Strict matching can be enabled by enclosing the value in double quotes: e.g. `"adguard.com"` matches `adguard.com` but doesn't match `www.adguard.com`.
|
|
|
|
`response_status`:
|
|
* all
|
|
* filtered - all kinds of filtering
|
|
* blocked - blocked or blocked service
|
|
* blocked_safebrowsing - blocked by safebrowsing
|
|
* blocked_parental - blocked by parental control
|
|
* whitelisted - whitelisted
|
|
* rewritten - all kinds of rewrites
|
|
* safe_search - enforced safe search
|
|
* processed - not blocked, not white-listed entries
|
|
|
|

]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The most recent entries are at the top of list.
|
|
|
|
If there are no more older entries, `"oldest":""` is returned.

|
### API: Set querylog parameters
|
|
|
|
Request:
|
|
|
|
POST /control/querylog_config
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"enabled": true | false
|
|
"interval": 1 | 7 | 30 | 90
|
|
"anonymize_client_ip": true | false // anonymize clients' IP addresses
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Response:
|
|
|
|
200 OK
|
|
|
|
`anonymize_client_ip`:
|
|
1. New log entries written to a log file will contain modified client IP addresses. Note that there's no way to obtain the full IP address later for these entries.
|
|
2. `GET /control/querylog` response data will contain modified client IP addresses (masked /24 or /112).
|
|
3. Searching by client IP won't work for the previously stored entries.
|
|
|
|
How `anonymize_client_ip` affects Stats:
|
|
1. After AGH restart, new stats entries will contain modified client IP addresses.
|
|
2. Existing entries are not affected.
|
|
|
|
|
|

## Filtering
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is how DNS requests and responses are filtered by AGH:
|
|
|
|
* 'dnsproxy' module receives DNS request from client and passes control to AGH
|
|
* AGH applies filtering logic to the host name in DNS Question:
|
|
* process Rewrite rules.
|
|
Can set CNAME and a list of IP addresses.
|
|
* process /etc/hosts entries.
|
|
Can set a list of IP addresses or a hostname (for PTR requests).
|
|
* match host name against filtering lists
|
|
* match host name against blocked services rules
|
|
* process SafeSearch rules
|
|
* request SafeBrowsing & ParentalControl services and process their response
|
|
* If the handlers above create a successful result that can be immediately sent to a client, it's passed back to 'dnsproxy' module
|
|
* Otherwise, AGH passes the DNS request to an upstream server via 'dnsproxy' module
|
|
* After 'dnsproxy' module has received a response from an upstream server, it passes control back to AGH
|
|
* If the filtering logic for DNS request returned a 'whitelist' flag, AGH passes the response to a client
|
|
* Otherwise, AGH applies filtering logic to each DNS record in response:
|
|
* For CNAME records, the target name is matched against filtering lists (ignoring 'whitelist' rules)
|
|
* For A and AAAA records, the IP address is matched against filtering lists (ignoring 'whitelist' rules)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Filters update mechanism
|
|
|
|
Filters can be updated either manually by request from UI or automatically.
|
|
Auto-update interval can be configured in UI. If it is 0, auto-update is disabled.
|
|
When the last modification date of filter files is older than auto-update interval, auto-update procedure is started.
|
|
If an enabled filter file doesn't exist, it's downloaded on application startup. This includes the case when installation wizard is completed and there are no filter files yet.
|
|
When auto-update time comes, server starts the update procedure by downloading filter files. After new filter files are in place, it restarts DNS filtering module with new rules.
|
|
Only filters that are enabled by configuration can be updated.
|
|
As a result of the update procedure, all enabled filter files are written to disk, refreshed (their last modification date is equal to the current time) and loaded.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### API: Get filtering parameters
|
|
|
|
Request:
|
|
|
|
GET /control/filtering/status

|
|
"interval": 0 | 1 | 12 | 1*24 || 3*24 || 7*24
|
|
"filters":[
|
|
{
|
|
"id":1
|
|
"enabled":true,
|
|
"url":"https://...",
|
|
"name":"...",
|
|
"rules_count":1234,
|
|
"last_updated":"2019-09-04T18:29:30+00:00",
|
|
}
|
|
...
|
|
],
|
|
"whitelist_filters":[
|

...
|
|
],
|
|
"user_rules":["...", ...]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|

## Log-in page
|
|
|
|
After user completes the steps of installation wizard, he must log in into dashboard using his name and password. After user successfully logs in, he gets the Cookie which allows the server to authenticate him next time without password. After the Cookie is expired, user needs to perform log-in operation again.
|
|
|
|
Requests to / or /index.html without a proper Cookie get redirected to Log-In page with prompt for name and password. The server responds with 403 to all other requests (including all API methods) without a proper Cookie.
|
|
|
|
YAML configuration:
|
|
|
|
users:
|
|
- name: "..."
|
|
password: "..." // bcrypt hash
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Session DB file:
|
|
|
|
session="..." user=name expire=123456
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
Session data is SHA(random()+name+password).
|
|
Expiration time is UNIX time when cookie gets expired.
|
|
|
|
Any request to server must come with Cookie header:
|
|
|
|
GET /...
|
|
Cookie: session=...
|
|
|
|
If not authenticated, server sends a redirect response:
|
|
|
|
302 Found
|
|
Location: /login.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Reset password
|
|
|
|
There is no mechanism to reset the password. Instead, the administrator must use `htpasswd` utility to generate a new hash:
|
|
|
|
htpasswd -B -n -b username password
|
|
|
|
It will print `username:<HASH>` to the terminal. `<HASH>` value may be used in AGH YAML configuration file as a value to `password` setting:
|
|
|
|
users:
|
|
- name: "..."
|
|
password: <HASH>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### API: Log in
|
|
|
|
Perform a log-in operation for administrator. Server generates a session for this name+password pair, stores it in file. UI needs to perform all requests with this value inside Cookie HTTP header.
|
|
|
|
Request:
|
|
|
|
POST /control/login
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
name: "..."
|
|
password: "..."
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Response:
|
|
|
|
200 OK
|
|
Set-Cookie: session=...; Expires=Wed, 09 Jun 2021 10:18:14 GMT; Path=/; HttpOnly
|
|
|
|
|
|
### API: Log out
|
|
|
|
Perform a log-out operation for administrator. Server removes the session from its DB and sets an expired cookie value.
|
|
|
|
Request:
|
|
|
|
GET /control/logout
|
|
|
|
Response:
|
|
|
|
302 Found
|
|
Location: /login.html
|
|
Set-Cookie: session=...; Expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT
|
|
|
|
|
|
### API: Get current user info
|
|
|
|
Request:
|
|
|
|
GET /control/profile
|
|
|
|
Response:
|
|
|
|
200 OK
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"name":"..."
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
If no client is configured then authentication is disabled and server sends an empty response.
|
