http/3 traffic scanning issue with WireGuard protocol, ProtonVpn


Go to solution Solved by Marcos,

Recommended Posts

I have a problem with ProtonVpn using the WireGuard protocol, I'm on ESS Premium v17.1.9, I can confirm that http/3 traffic scanning interfere with ProtonVPN WireGuard service, causing 0xC00000E5 error "Access is denied", so the service can't create/launch WireGuard tunnel.

Device SWD\WireGuard{EAB2262D-9AB1-5975-7D92-334D06F4972B} failed to start.

Driver name: oem32.inf
Class GUID: {4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
Service: WireGuard
Lower filters:
Upper filters:
Problem: 0x0
Problem status: 0xC00000E5

I don't want to put my system at risk by disabling http/3 traffic scanning, what are the options in this case?

1, Enable advanced network traffic scanner logging (advanced setup -> Tools -> Diagnostics)
2, Start capturing the network communication with Wireshark
3, Reproduce the issue
4, Stop logging and save the Wireshark log.
5, Collect logs with ESET Log Collector
6, Supply us with both ELC and Wireshark logs for perusal.

Sure, i can provide you with requested logs, tomorrow. I also provide you with the screen capture while reproducing the problem.

I'm a bit confused, which network should I capture with Wireshark if the WireGuard tunnel is failing to start?

The suggested sequence of actions cannot be executed because if the http/3 traffic scanning is enabled it's prevents WireGuard Tunnel from starting and, consequently, from being captured in Wireshark. Therefore, steps 2 and 4 are impossible to complete.

As previously mentioned, I am unable to provide Wireshark data due to the failure of the WireGuard tunnel to start when http/3 traffic scanning is enabled.

In lieu of Wireshark logs, I am presenting logs from Eset log collector and a video demonstrating the involvement of the http/3 traffic scanning feature in the malfunction of the WireGuard tunnel, specifically the inability to initiate the WireGuard tunnel:

Are you still having issues today? Have you recently rebooted or turned off/on the machine?

I'm still having the issue.

Yes, recently I've rebooted my machine, and I've shut it down with cmd...

In that case I assume that the issue won't go away after turning off HTTP/3 network traffic filtering. Could you confirm? Did it use to work with v17.0.16?

The thing is, if i disable http/3 traffic scanning, the WireGuard tunnel is working just fine, as it should.

But i don't want to lower my security standards to have it functioning.

That's why I've asked if there any updates on this matter...

p.s. I can confirm, that it's stopped working on 17.1.9.0

When did you test it? It should have no effect on the issue unless you made the test days ago.

I've tested it a couple of minutes ago! And the issue is still present.

My English is not perfect, but if I say, that I'm still having the issue, is it so hard to understand?

And besides, why is it no problem any more?! There was no version update, there is no statement about a fix from Eset.

You've asked me to provide logs, I did it, in addition I've provided you a video.

According to the Eset Forum, the logs are downloaded 0 times.

And after i asked for a update on my matter, i get weird answers with no explanations and assumptions that I've tested this issue a long time ago. 

It's very bad practice to answer your costumers like that...

The logs were most likely created at the time when the issue could occur so they are not useful at this point. Hence I asked if you had been experiencing the issue recently (ie. in the last 4-5 days).

Turning on or off HTTP/3 traffic filtering has no effect on network communication currently.

I've posted the logs on the next day you asked for, it was last Tuesday, and they was useless? Weird thing... 

 

You've asked me about today, and I gave my answer, then you've wrote:

 

"It should have no effect on the issue unless you made the test days ago."

 

Still I'm not having the answer on my matter.

 

Should I consult myself or what?

It's affecting the WireGuard Tunel!!!! Watch the video! And I've tested it today, which means CURRENTLY.

It appears the HTTP/3 issue is with WireGuard per your prior posting: https://forum.eset.com/topic/40688-heavy-bug-in-version-17190-internet-security/?do=findComment&comment=182878 . Based on this;

Quote

TCP Mode

WireGuard explicitly does not support tunneling over TCP, due to the classically terrible network performance of tunneling TCP-over-TCP. Rather, transforming WireGuard's UDP packets into TCP is the job of an upper layer of obfuscation (see previous point), and can be accomplished by projects like udptunnel and udp2raw.

https://www.wireguard.com/known-limitations/

It appears WireGuard is exclusively UDP based as is HTTP/3 QUIC.

A developer would like to check a manually generated dump of ekrn.exe when HTTP/3 checking is enabled in gui.

Please open the advanced setup, navigate to Tools -> Diagnostics. Make sure that "full dump" is selected in the drop-down menu and click "Create". Then provide the dump created in C:\ProgramData\ESET\ESET Security\Diagnostics zipped in an archive.

May I provide it from google drive? The Archive size exceeds the forum limitations.

The system has not been restarted in the last 7 days. Restarting it should fix the issue.

That's helped, thank you.

I need to dig in my system, because I've restarted the system today, but the system dump showed that it was 7 days ago...

So there is some bug on my side.

Thanks for your time and assistance.

Do you have Win10/11 fast startup enabled?

Yes win11 with fast startup, but I've restarted with cmd command...

And now I'm curious, what could go wrong...

But it's another problem for another day and another forum. I assume that the kind people from Eset are tired of my incompetence😂
