This is a good combo for me. I want to do some packet filtering for security reasons, and wondered if the packet filtering that you can do with rules in the ppp.conf is good ? The tutorials I've seen start off by configuring NAT on the system then using one of the system filtering programs to do the job. Seems like overkill if ppp can do the job. thanks for the input, Darryl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
