Source Query Proxy

Motivation

Basically Source game-servers works in one thread and can't use more than one core for in-game logic. For example - Left 4 Dead 2.
Yes, you can use SourceMod to offload calculations (use threading), but we talking about common game logic.

You can try use DoS Protection extension, but caching is not fast solution, cause server spent time to receiving and sending answer from cache.

So, we just need redirect some packets to proxy service

IPTables (or any NAT) can't help!


If you use IPTables (NAT) to redirect queries to proxy, this rule will be remembered in routing table and if client try to connect - connection will be redirected to proxy too.


Linux Kernel filter

It works!
Just register packet handler and move on top (set specific priority), at this moment packet placed in RAW routing table and no one rule applied before. Now we change destination port, calculate new checksum and let him go further! In next step packet will be matched and redirected according to the NAT rules and go to our Proxy service. Answers from service will be translated by same logic.
For example incoming:
27015 -> 27915
27016 -> 27916
...
and outgoing handler change port back:
27915 -> 27015
27916 -> 27016
...



Solution


Python cache backend: https://github.com/sqproxy/sqproxy
Kernel redirection to that backend: https://github.com/sqproxy/sqredirect

Troubleshooting
See the issues on github. Problem or solution can be presented before

this is really great idea, thank you very much for this...

I did everything for modules and it wasn't any error, so how can I understand is it working or not ?

Do you build and run SourceQueryCache too? After module loaded and SQC startup you can check your server by HLSW or analogue (https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=289370)
Or use simple utility in attachment (Python3.4 or above required): python3 test_a2sinfo.py

What is your gcc version?

Setup SourceQueryCacheMono

Install mono
Ubuntu


Build SQC
PHP Code:
cd SourceQueryCacheMono
xbuild 
/p:Configuration=Release QueryCache.sln 
Now we have QueryCache.exe in QueryCache/bin/Release subfolder

Check SQC
PHP Code:
cd QueryCache/bin/Release

# start listening on 27915 and proxy requests to 216.52.148.47:27015
mono QueryCache.exe 27915 216.52.148.47 27015 
Now we can test SQC with some requester.

test_a2sinfo.py


Final steps
1. Setup SQC to your servers (setup should be done on same host)
2. Enable Kernel module

If you use different ports, you should manually change theirs in poc.c before compilation.

In attachment you can found compiled QueryCache.exe. All credits and source code can be found here: https://github.com/blastehh/SourceQueryCacheMono
Attached Files
File Type: gz QueryCache.exe.gz (3.5 KB, 783 views)

hi again spumer, I did everything very well.

1. Enable Kernel module
2. I did my iptables this rule

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p udp -d 185.87.120.87 --dport 27015 -m u32 --u32 '0>>22&0x3C@8=0xFFFFFFFF && 0>>22&0x3C@12=0x54536F75 && 0>>22&0x3C@16=0x72636520 && 0>>22&0x3C@20=0x456E6769 && 0>>22&0x3C@24=0x6E652051 && 0>>22&0x3C@28=0x75657279' -j
REDIRECT --to-port 27915

3. I started mono QueryCache.exe 27915 185.87.120.87 27015

4. I'm checking with python3 test_a2sinfo.py

You don't need iptables rule when kernel module loaded.
Kernel module should be used instead iptables.

After all you should check server out of host (e.g. from local computer)

So, today with xlenonz we found some problems with Fedora. Previously all tested on Gentoo and Ubuntu systems with different backend.
I try to solve this and publish feedback.
