You will need:
- An Enclave API key for an account with access to the tenant.
- The Enclave tenant's organisation identifier.
- At least one Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (or later) server.
-
Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/enclave-networks/internet-gateway.git
-
Install Enclave, Docker, and other dependencies
cd internet-gateway/ chmod +x *.sh sudo ./prepare-host.sh
Note that the prepare-host.sh
script can be customized. By default, it prepares the OS by installing required dependencies, Docker, and Enclave. You can also enable the script to install the NetData agent, restrict SSH access for root, and enable unattended security updates.

DO_INSTALL_DOCKER=true

DO_INSTALL_NETDATA=false
DO_RESTRICT_ROOT=false

Steps to provision a new set of Internet Gateways.
On Windows, run configure-tenant.ps1
passing in your orgId
and apiKey
.
.\configure-tenant.ps1 -orgId abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz012345 -apiKey abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0
The PowerShell script will create an Enrolment Key that's valid for one hour and two system enrolments in the target tenant which you will use to enrol each Internet Gateway:
Checking for enrolled Internet Gateways...
No enrolled systems found in this tenant with expected hostnames of an Enclave Internet Gateway.
Creating a new Internet Gateway Enrolment Key:
AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA
This key will automatically expire in 1 hour.
On your Ubuntu server, we'll now use the Enrolment Key from step 1 to create a Docker stack for the primary and secondary Internet Gateways.
In this example our Internet Gateways are going to be for "Acme Labs", this name will be used as the directory name where the docker-compose.yml
files will be built for each Internet Gateway in this stack:
sudo ./generate-stack.sh -c "ACME Labs" -g -k AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA
The -g
argument tells the script to generate a new Trusted Root Certificate Authority for this stack, and -k
passes the enrolment key so the Enclave container in each stack can enrol to the tenant.
Expect to see output that looks like this:
CUSTOMER_NAME: ACME Labs
STACK_PATH: ./stacks/acme_labs
PKI_PATH: ./stacks/acme_labs/pki
PRIMARY_PATH: ./stacks/acme_labs/primary-gateway
SECONDARY_PATH: ./stacks/acme_labs/secondary-gateway
ENCLAVE_ENROLMENT_KEY: AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA
CA_COMMON_NAME: Enclave Internet Gateway Authority (ACME Labs)
ENCLAVE_LOCAL_PORT_ON_PRIMARY: 40000
ENCLAVE_LOCAL_PORT_ON_SECONDARY: 40001
DOCKER_BRIDGE_NAME: rarlx656iq_n
Both the primary and secondary Docker stacks for each Internet Gateway have been built in the ./stacks/acme_labs
directory.
Note that each stack directory contains a copy of the public Trusted Root Certificate Authority certificate gateway.crt
, and it's corresponding private gateway.key
file. Only the Docker stack needs access to the private key file. The public certificate will need to be downloaded and installed into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities
of the Local Machine
for end-users.
If you generated the stack locally, move each stack directory to it's correct location, or server now. We recommend separate hardware for each Internet Gateway, but it's perfectly possible to run both stacks on the same host OS.
- Primary Internet Gateway:
./stacks/acme_labs/primary-gateway
- Secondary Internet Gateway:
./stacks/acme_labs/secondary-gateway
The first time you deploy a new stack, you should run the initialise-bridge-network.sh
file on each host server to setup iptables and the docker network bridge network:
user@DC2-UBUNTU-12:~$ cd stacks/acme_labs/primary-gateway/
user@DC2-UBUNTU-12:~/stacks/acme_labs/primary-gateway$ chmod +x initialise-bridge-network.sh
user@DC2-UBUNTU-12:~/stacks/acme_labs/primary-gateway$ sudo ./initialise-bridge-network.sh
Expect to see output similar to:
441138f7c4499a18f611c14a4968f0f91aa5ccfedeb42a05aebb57ca7447fc58
Adding iptables rule to allow the bridge network to snat to the Internet
If you run the script a second time, expect to see output similar to:
docker bridge network uwhzjej7gw_n for this stack already exists, nothing to do.
iptables snat rule 172.17.0.0/16 for this stack already exists, nothing to do.
Now we can ask Docker to bring the primary gateway online:
sudo docker compose up -d
Repeat this step for the secondary Internet Gateway, so that both Internet Gateways enrolled and show as online in the Enclave Portal before proceeding.
Back in your Windows environment, the same script from step 1, configure-tenant.ps1
can now be run a second time. As before, pass the same orgId
and apiKey
.
This time, the script will detect the presence of the newly enrolled Internet Gateways and instead of generating an enrolment key, it will configure the required Tags, Policies and DNS Records in the tenant to enable the Internet Gateways to function as intended.
.\configure-tenant.ps1 -orgId abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz012345 -apiKey abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0
Expect to see output similar to:
Checking for enrolled Internet Gateways...
Evaluating Tags...
Refreshing tag: internet-gateway
Creating tag: internet-gateway-admin
Creating tag: internet-gateway-user
Evaluating DNS Records...
Creating DNS record: blocked.enclave
Creating DNS record: dnsfilter.enclave
Evaluating Systems...
Refreshing system: QW448 (gateway-primary)
Refreshing system: 4WXXW (gateway-secondary)
Evaluating Policies...
Creating policy: (Internet Gateway) - Admin DNS Dashboard
Creating policy: (Internet Gateway) - Blocked Page
Creating policy: (Internet Gateway) - Cluster
Creating policy: (Internet Gateway) - Internet Access
Done
If changes are accidentally made to any of these policies in the future, running the configure-tenant.ps1
script again will attempt to automatically detect the drift and refresh the correct configuration into the tenant.
There are three new Tags in the tenant:
[internet-gateway]
- Applied to the Internet Gateways themselves.[internet-gateway-user]
- Should be applied to end-users.[internet-gateway-admin]
- A special tag for Internet Gateway administrators only.
Enrol yourself to the tenant and attach the [internet-gateway-admin]
tag to your system. You'll now be able to access http://dnsfilter.enclave - the PiHole administration interface.
We recommend downloading and installing the Gateway's Root Certificate so your browser can trust the block page (https://blocked.enclave/).
Download the Internet Gateway CA's public certificate in the appropriate format for yourself and end-users:
On Windows, use the certmgr
tool to install gateway.crt
into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities
store using the LOCAL COMPUTER
scope and restart your browser. Navigate to http://dnsfilter.enclave and check you don't receive any certificate warnings.
To test if your network traffic is successfully routing through the Internet Gateway, check your external IP address and then apply the [internet-gateway-user]
tag to your system. Your Internet traffic should now be routing through the Internet Gateways and your external IP address should have changed to present as that of the primary Internet Gateway.
- Failover between gateways is automatic. If one fails or goes offline, connected systems will automatically switch.
- You may need to disable
Use secure DNS
in Chrome (chrome://settings/security
) to stop it sending DNS queries directly to Google nameservers. - Notice the
300M
docker memory limit applied to the Enclave container and increase as required. - Only make PiHole configuration changes on the primary gateway as the PiHole configuration in synced from the primary to the secondary every 30 minutes.
To inspect the running environment, the docker commands ps
, exec
, stats
qand logs
can be helpful.
To inspect iptables snat run:
sudo iptables -t nat -L POSTROUTING -v -n
!!! Warning: Read these commands BEFORE you run them. If you don't understand exactly what they will do, contact us on our support channels for assistance.
sudo docker stop $(sudo docker ps -q) && sudo docker rm $(sudo docker ps -aq)
sudo docker network rm $(sudo docker network ls -q)
sudo docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -qf dangling=true)
sudo iptables -t nat -S POSTROUTING | grep "_n" | sed 's/^-A /-D /' | while read -r line; do sudo iptables -t nat $line; done
sudo rm -rf ./stacks/
