The NAT rules are already written that way: nat on $wan_if tag LAN_WAN_NAT tagged LAN_WAN -> ($wan_if) nat on $wan_if tag WLS_WAN_NAT tagged WLS_WAN -> ($wan_if) nat on $wan_if tag AP_WAN_NAT tagged AP_WAN -> ($wan_if) nat on $wan_if tag VPN_WAN_NAT tagged VPN_WAN -> ($wan_if) Thanks anyway Martin -----Message d'origine----- De=A0: Erik Norgaard [mailto:norgaard@locolomo.org]=20 Envoy=E9=A0: 18 octobre 2006 10:30 =C0=A0: Martin Turgeon Cc=A0: freebsd-pf@freebsd.org; freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Objet=A0: Re: Routing with external interface doesn't work after a while Martin Turgeon wrote: > I've been reading the mailing list for a while, but it's my first = post.

Is your external ip configured with dhcp? I would guess this is because=20 your ip on the external interface changes. Your NAT rules will still go=20 to the old ip and hence nowhere. If reloading your pf ruleset solves the = problem, then this is a strong indication. There is some trick to handle that, IIRC something like this would do: ext_if=3Dfxp0 # external interface nat on $ext_if from <lan> to !<lan> -> ($ext_if) The () means that pf will lookup the ip on that interface, and update=20 dynamically when the ip changes. Well, that's how I remember it, I couldn't find where I've seen it, but=20 there is a trick like this.
