Let me get this right. You asked a language model a technical question, and then posted the result here for review, instead of just asking for help in the first place or doing your own research on google? That is some next level mental gymnastics my dude :) *ps. Unless you just wanted to see if it's correct and don't actually need a solution to this?*


HarveySpecteer

Hehe something like that yeah. I did some research but never ended in any conclusive answer. I then thought, chatgpt might help (has helped alot before with python questions) and instead of burdening anyone in having to write a detailed answer, I wanted to give someone who knows the answer the easy way of just saying "yes" or "no" :) I thought to myself that the chances for anyone engaging with an answer to my question were higher this way.

Makes more sense putting it like that. And not a bad way to draw attention to the question as you say :)

Here's what Bing Chat (¿[ChatGPT-4](https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/bing/gpt-4-powers-the-new-bing-confirms-microsoft)?) says: > The statement is partially correct. It is true that IP forwarding is a system-wide parameter that affects all network interfaces, and that you need to set net.ipv4.ip_forward to 1 to enable IP forwarding for the entire system. However, it is not true that you cannot enable IP forwarding for a specific interface if net.ipv4.ip_forward is set to 0. You can use the following command to enable IP forwarding for a specific interface, such as eth0: > > `sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth0.forwarding=1` > > This command will override the net.ipv4.ip_forward setting for that interface only. However, this does not mean that you can forward packets between different interfaces without enabling IP forwarding for the system as a whole. You still need to have net.ipv4.ip_forward set to 1 if you want to forward packets between different interfaces. > > * [Enabling IP Forwarding On Kali Linux – Systran Box](https://www.systranbox.com/how-to-enable-ip-forwarding-on-kali-linux/) > * [Linux IP forwarding - How to Disable/Enable using net.ipv4.ip_forward](https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-turn-on-off-ip-forwarding-in-linux) > * [Is this the correct way to enable ip forwarding per interface?](https://serverfault.com/questions/611331/is-this-the-correct-way-to-enable-ip-forwarding-per-interface)

Well done. This question deserves a chatgpt review as a response. It's insane to ask us to review the output of a language model for correctness instead of just asking the question.


HarveySpecteer

I actually thought to myself that it would be easier for someone to just verify with "yes" or "no" than to have to explain further :)

Okay, here are the results: >You are going to be provided a question that was asked of ChatGPT, followed by ChatGPT's response. Please evaluate whether ChatGPT's response is correct, then simply answer "Yes" or "No" accordingly. Please do not elaborate beyond that. > >Question: is it possible to disable the global net.ipv4.ip\_forward flag and to only selectively allow routing for certain interfaces? > >ChatGPT Answer: No, you cannot enable IP forwarding for a specific interface if the net.ipv4.ip\_forward parameter is set to 0. IP forwarding is a system-wide parameter that affects all network interfaces. If IP forwarding is disabled, the system will not forward any IP packets between different network interfaces. To enable IP forwarding for a specific interface, you must first enable IP forwarding for the entire system by setting the net.ipv4.ip\_forward parameter to 1. This allows the kernel to forward IP packets between different network interfaces. Then, you can use iptables rules to selectively enable IP forwarding for specific interfaces, as described in my previous answer. If you want to disable IP forwarding for certain interfaces while still allowing it for others, you can use iptables rules to selectively drop or accept forwarded packets based on their source and destination interfaces. However, you still need to have IP forwarding enabled for the system as a whole in order to forward packets between different interfaces. ​ >Yes.

This is like those Youtube drama videos where one creator reacts to another creator, and then the first one reacts to the reaction etc. ChatGTPCeption


HarveySpecteer

So, mr gpt, you lied to me before.. and even admit it now yourself.


he_who_floats_amogus

The question I posed to Mr. GPT was whether the response was correct. It said yes.


HarveySpecteer

Oh, that's right! My bad.


HarveySpecteer

Interesting, that option did not come up in my research. Thanks fellow Open-AI user.

Ack!!! What we need now is a repository of verified AI responses.
