[Openstack] No internet connection to the VMs

Giulio,

the packets from the instance are leaving the devstack VM with the floating IP as the source address. Even if they do get out to the Internet, upstream routers would not know what to do with the return packets which have the floating IP as the destination address.

Try this on the devstack VM:

sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

Then the packets will be SNATed to the devstack VM IP before they leave.

Re, Darragh.
