Description Lucas López Montero 2021-02-12 14:23:15 UTC 
Description of problem:

As explained on this issue [1] (fix here [2]); when OVN is being used in a cluster, its local node firewalls are redirecting the traffic to the port configured on NodePort without filtering the destination IP.


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
oc new-project nodeport-issue
oc new-app https://github.com/openshift/ruby-hello-world
oc expose deployment ruby-hello-world --type=NodePort --name=ruby-hello-world-nodeport
oc describe services ruby-hello-world-nodeport | grep "NodePort:"

Login to one on the nodes and execute:
curl -4 -v http://www.google.de:<NodePort>

Actual results:

The output contains something like "Welcome to an OpenShift v3 Demo App".


Expected results:

Traffic should be directed to www.google.de in the example above

Traffic seems to be redirected but do not receive a response.


@aconstan  Should a response be received from www.google.de when curl is issued ?
Comment 7 Josef Meier 2021-03-16 08:26:16 UTC 
In our case we could not even pull Docker Images from external registries with this bug.
Comment 8 Alexander Constantinescu 2021-03-16 09:27:47 UTC 
Hi 

I don't know what google.de:$NODE_PORT is supposed to do, it obviously should not return a response as I don't think Google has anything that will listen on a port of your choice and return a response. 

Why don't you just use an external node (boostrap maybe?), launch a server running on a dedicated port on that node, then create a new service inside the cluster using the same node port and test that you can connect to the EXTERNAL_NODE:PORT without having the internal service interfere?
