PROJECT KNOWLEDGE BASE

Generated: 2026-06-20 Branch: main

OVERVIEW

NexusGuard SD-WAN Suite: Enterprise Zero-Trust SD-WAN with WireGuard tunneling, centralized IPAM, and real-time nftables network isolation. Monorepo with 3 git submodules: Go backend (Gin), Vue 3 dashboard, Go device agent.

TOPOLOGY

Host SSH Role
Production server root@172.20.8.191 Runs server-core, Postgres, Redis, nginx, nftables, WireGuard
Gitea server root@172.20.8.92 Private Git hosting (git.datadunia.com)
  • Server project folder: /root/Nexus-Guard-Suite
  • Deploy: ./update.sh (don't build manually)
  • Actual WireGuard wg0 IP: 10.172.21.1/24 (on server 172.20.8.191)
  • Agent WG IPs: dynamic from pool 10.172.21.0/24

Transport Fallback Chain (Agent → Server)

  1. gRPC via HTTPS domain (TLS) → italy-twenty.gl.at.ply.gg:443
  2. gRPC via WireGuard IP (insecure, tunnel-encrypted) → 10.172.21.1:8080
  3. HTTP heartbeat (fallback) → serverURL/api/v1/heartbeat

Heartbeat = PRIMARY Channel

Always runs. Handles:

  • Health check (30s interval)
  • Config sync (detects config changes → rebuild tunnel)
  • Handshake monitoring (rebuilds tunnel if lastHandshake > 120s)
  • Recovery after failure (wasFailing → OnRecovered → full rebuild)

gRPC = BONUS Channel

Best-effort. Handles:

  • Real-time commands: Suspend, Resume, ConfigUpdate, Reconnect, Disconnect
  • StatusReport from agent (tunnel_up, lastHandshake, state)
  • Ping/Pong keepalive (20s)

gRPC Port Multiplexing

HTTP + gRPC share port 8080 via cmux:

  • Server: cmux.New(lis) → match gRPC by content-type header, match HTTP by Any()
  • Agent connects to same port for both HTTP API and gRPC

Key Design Decisions

  • Agent NEVER destroys tunnel on heartbeat failure — only rebuilds
  • OnFailure = log only, OnRecovered = full rebuild
  • gRPC OnDisconnect/OnGRPCFailed just log — heartbeat continues
  • Heartbeat reads last_handshake_time_sec from WG IPC to detect stale tunnel
  • gRPC StatusReport sends handshake age to server every 30s
  • Server WG IP read from actual kernel interface (net.InterfaceByName), NOT from stale DB

Agent Connection Lifecycle

  1. Provision → register with server, get WireGuard config
  2. Start tunnel (memory-injected, no disk files)
  3. Start heartbeat (always, primary channel)
  4. Start gRPC (if ServerWGIP available, bonus channel)
  5. On heartbeat config change → rebuild tunnel
  6. On heartbeat stale handshake → rebuild tunnel
  7. On heartbeat failure+recovery → rebuild tunnel
  8. On gRPC suspend → stop tunnel, heartbeat continues
  9. On gRPC resume → rebuild tunnel from server config

Protobuf Messages

  • Agent → Server: HelloMessage, HeartbeatAck, StatusReport, PingMessage
  • Server → Agent: ConfigUpdate, SuspendCommand, ResumeCommand, ReconnectCommand, DisconnectCommand, KeepAlive, PongMessage

CONVENTIONS

  • Go: Standard layout (main.go in root, internal/, api/)
  • Vue 3: Composition API + <script setup lang="ts"> throughout
  • State management: Pinia stores in src/stores/
  • API client: Axios-based services in src/api/ + base src/services/
  • Styling: TailwindCSS v4 (no PostCSS — @tailwindcss/vite plugin)
  • DB: GORM ORM, PostgreSQL, AutoMigrate in dev / -migrate-prod in prod
  • Naming: UPPER_SNAKE_CASE env vars, camelCase Go vars, PascalCase exported Go
  • Auth: JWT, admin-only enforced by middleware pattern
  • Build tags: //go:build dev for AutoMigrate
  • Capabilities: Server containers need NET_ADMIN + NET_RAW
  • Ports: API 8080, Dashboard 80 (Nginx), Postgres 5432, Redis 6379
  • Config: Docker uses .env, native uses /etc/nexusguard/nexusguard.conf

ANTI-PATTERNS (THIS PROJECT)

  • NEVER nft flush table — only atomic add/remove
  • NEVER commit temp/debug/test files (nft-fix.sh, temp_*.txt etc) in project root; use ./tests folder
  • NEVER log plaintext or encryption keys
  • NEVER reopen completed phases/commits — fix forward only
  • NEVER rebuild shared/crypto/encryptor.go — copy identical file
  • NEVER commit build artifacts (binaries, dist/)
  • NEVER force push
  • NEVER create cross-phase workarounds

WIREGUARD AllowedIPs — SERVER vs CLIENT (CRITICAL)

WireGuard AllowedIPs has two different meanings depending on context. Mixing them causes only 1 peer to work.

Rule

Context Where Value Purpose
Server-side (kernel wg set) SyncLocalPeers() → peer_sync.go InternalIP/32 per peer WireGuard routing table — each IP must belong to exactly ONE peer
Client-side (.conf file) getDeviceConfig() → peers.go EndpointAllowedIPs from DB (e.g. /24, 0.0.0.0/0) Tells client which traffic routes through VPN tunnel
Firewall (nftables) AddForwardRule() → nftables_linux.go EndpointAllowedIPs from DB Controls which IPs peer can reach via forwarding

Why

WireGuard uses AllowedIPs as an internal routing table. When two peers share the same /24, WireGuard assigns the AllowedIPs to the last peer configured only — the first peer gets (none). This is not a bug; it's how WireGuard routing works.

Anti-pattern

// WRONG — uses client config for server-side routing
if d.EndpointAllowedIPs != "" {
    allowedIPs = d.EndpointAllowedIPs  // "10.172.21.0/24" ← SAME for both peers!
}

Correct pattern

// CORRECT — server-side always /32 per peer
allowedIPs := *d.InternalIP + "/32"   // "10.172.21.2/32" for gogo2
if d.AllowInternet {
    allowedIPs = "0.0.0.0/0"
}
// Do NOT override with EndpointAllowedIPs here

Database field: endpoint_allowed_ips

  • Used for client config and firewall rules
  • NOT used for server-side WireGuard kernel config
  • Example: 10.172.21.0/24 allows peer to reach full subnet via firewall + routes full subnet through VPN on client

FIREWALL CHAINS — INPUT vs FORWARD (CRITICAL)

nftables traffic enters different chains depending on destination:

  • Traffic TO server's own IP (e.g. 10.172.21.1) → INPUT chain
  • Traffic THROUGH server (peer-to-peer, e.g. 10.172.21.2 → 10.172.21.3) → FORWARD chain

Rule routing in code

Destination Chain Method
Server's own interface_address INPUT AddInputFirewallRule()
Other peer IPs / subnets FORWARD AddFirewallRule()

Detection logic (syncRuleToFirewall)

serverIP = strings.Split(localServer.InterfaceAddress, "/")[0]
destBase = strings.Split(destCIDR, "/")[0]
if destBase == serverIP {
    fw.AddInputFirewallRule(...)  // → INPUT chain
} else {
    fw.AddFirewallRule(...)       // → FORWARD chain
}

Anti-pattern

// WRONG — all rules go to FORWARD, server IP rules are dead
fw.AddFirewallRule(...)  // for dest=10.172.21.1 → enters FORWARD chain → never matched

Correct pattern

// CORRECT — detect server IP, route to correct chain
if destBase == serverIP {
    fw.AddInputFirewallRule(...)  // → INPUT chain (matches traffic TO server)
} else {
    fw.AddFirewallRule(...)       // → FORWARD chain (matches traffic THROUGH server)
}

Why

Traffic to server's own IP is processed by INPUT chain, not FORWARD chain. Placing rules in FORWARD chain for server-bound traffic makes them dead rules that never match.

UNIQUE STYLES

  • Zero-Attack Surface: /auth/register locked; admin via -create-admin CLI only
  • Stealth Agent: No /etc/wireguard/ — config in memory only
  • Duplicate crypto: encryptor.go copy-pasted in server-core + device-agent (known debt, do not deduplicate)
  • nftables default Accept: Contradicts Zero-Trust "Default DROP" — intentional gap

heartbeat server <-> device-agent

Konsep yang Benar Heartbeat = satu konsep, tiga jalur transport:

0 Transport Protocol Endpoint Kapan Dipakai 1 gRPC via domain (HTTPS proxy) gRPC bidi stream api-nexus.datadunia.com:443 Pertama dicoba 2 gRPC via WG IP (direct) gRPC bidi stream 10.172.21.1:8080 Fallback jika proxy swallowed 3 HTTP API REST POST /api/v1/heartbeat Fallback terakhir / always running Satu konsep yang sama: kirim config_hash + last_handshake + tunnel_up → server compare → respond dengan config jika berubah.

Yang Perlu Diperbaiki client.go: Perlu ada gRPC heartbeat loop (kirim HeartbeatRequest via stream periodik) + handle HeartbeatResponse heartbeat.go: HTTP heartbeat tetap ada sebagai fallback Transport switching: Saat gRPC connected → heartbeat via gRPC. Saat gRPC disconnected → heartbeat via HTTP handler.go: Perlu handleHeartbeatResponse untuk process config dari gRPC heartbeat Server manager.go: Perlu sendMu untuk prevent concurrent stream.Send() Alur yang Benar (setelah perbaikan) Agent Start → Provision (HTTP) → config pertama dari HTTP API → build tunnel → Start HTTP heartbeat (always running, fallback transport) → Start gRPC (HTTPS → WG IP)

gRPC Connected: → establishStream: kirim HelloMessage → terima ConfigUpdate (verify only, jangan rebuild) → heartbeatLoop: kirim HeartbeatRequest via gRPC setiap 30s → Server respond: HeartbeatResponse (config_changed? → rebuild via handler) → dispatch: handle Suspend/Resume/ConfigUpdate/Reconnect/Disconnect

gRPC Disconnected: → HTTP heartbeat continues (unaffected) → gRPC reconnect loop → When reconnected → switch heartbeat back to gRPC

NOTES

  • Submodules → private Gitea (git.datadunia.com); CI via Gitea Actions per submodule
  • Go versions diverge: server-core 1.25.7, device-agent 1.25.1
  • No root linter configs (.golangci.yml, .eslintrc, .editorconfig)
  • Shell scripts use deprecated docker-compose v1, Makefile uses docker compose v2
  • package.json name is "temp-ui" (stale scaffold remnant)
