So it would work in more general case than just captive portal network,
which ctrld have supported recently.
Uses who may want no leaking behavior can use a config to turn off this
feature.
So it can be run regardless of ctrld current status. This prevents a
racy behavior when reset DNS task restores DNS settings of the system,
but current running ctrld process may revert it immediately.
For query domain that matches "uid.verify.controld.com" in cd mode, and
the uid has the same value with "--cd" flag, ctrld will fetch uid config
from ControlD API, using this config if valid.
This is useful for force syncing API without waiting until the API
reload ticker fire.
ControlD have global list of known captive portals that user can augment
with proper setup. However, this requires manual actions, and involving
restart ctrld for taking effects.
By allowing ctrld "leaks" DNS queries to OS resolver, this process
becomes automatically, the captive portal could intercept these queries,
and as long as it was passed, ctrld will resume normal operation.
Using netsh command will emit unexpected SOA queries, do not use it.
While at it, also ensure that local ipv6 will be added to nameservers
list on systems that require ipv6 local listener.
So changes to DNS after ctrld stopped won't be reverted by the goroutine
itself. The problem happens rarely on darwin, because networksetup
command won't propagate config to /etc/resolv.conf if there is no
changes between multiple running.
The dns watchdog is spawned *after* DNS was set by ctrld, thus it should
use the currentStaticDNS for getting the static DNS, instead of relying
on currentDNS, which could be system wide instead of per interfaces.
On Darwin, modifying /etc/resolv.conf directly does not change interface
network settings. Thus the networksetup command uses to set DNS does not
do anything.
To fix this, after setting DNS using networksetup, re-check the content
of /etc/resolv.conf file to see if the nameservers are what we expected.
Otherwise, re-generate the file with proper nameservers.
Without reading the documentation, users may think that "ctrld start"
will just start ctrld service. However, this is not the case, and may
lead to unexpected result from user's point of view.
This commit changes "ctrld start" to just start already installed ctrld
service, so users won't lost what they did installed before. If there
are any arguments specified, performing the current behavior.
At the time self-check process running, we have already known the exact
config file being used by ctrld service. Thus, we should just re-read
this config file directly instead of guessing the config file.
Currently, ctrld watches changes to /etc/resolv.conf file, then
reverting to the expected settings. However, if /etc/resolv.conf is a
symlink, changes made to the target file maynot be seen if it's not
under /etc directory.
To fix this, just evaluate the /etc/resolv.conf file before watching it.
Once per minute, ctrld will check if DNS settings was changed or not. If
yes, re-applying the proper settings for system interfaces.
For now, this is only applied when deactivation_pin was set.
By making dnsFromAdapter ignores DNS server which is the same IP address
of the adapter.
While at it, also changes OS resolver to use ctrld bootstrap DNS only if
there's no available nameservers.
By attempting to reset DNS before starting new ctrld process. This way,
ctrld will read the correct system DNS settings before changing itself.
While at it, some optimizations are made:
- "ctrld start" won't set DNS anymore, since "ctrld run" has already did
this, start command could just query socket control server and emittin
proper message to users.
- The gateway won't be included as nameservers on Windows anymore,
since the GetAdaptersAddresses Windows API always returns the correct
DNS servers of the interfaces.
- The nameservers list that OS resolver is using will be shown during
ctrld startup, making it easier for debugging.
For safety reason, ctrld will create a backup of the current binary when
running upgrade command.
However, on systems where ctrld status is got by parsing ps command
output, the current binary path is important and must be the same with
the original binary. Depends on kernel version, using os.Executable may
return new backup binary path, aka "ctrld_previous", not the original
"ctrld" binary. This causes upgrade command see ctrld as not running
after restart -> upgrade failed.
Fixing this by recording the binary path before creating new service, so
the ctrld service status can be checked correctly.
