Hello In the documentation for natd it states early on that if you want nat with ppp you should use the -nat option for that with ppp. In the BSD document called something like "Dial Up Firewall" or similar, the example given does not use -nat, but uses natd directly. Apart from the fact the example in the document don't work.. well..back to the question. I have an inner network of the 192.168 variety where I need no firewall and no NAT. My gateway connects to the Internet with a PPP connection as normal. On the gateway I want to allow ALL services out from the inner network and HTTP,ssh,ftp in. Somehow I want these services not to be serviced by the gateway but to be re-directed to another server. Now my question is this: - DO I use PPP -nat with ppp filter rules - Do I use PPP -nat with ipfw rules - Do I use PPP with seperate NAT and ipfw rules - Do I use PPP with seperate NAT and PPP filter rules :) I don't have an opinion. But the documentation I have read does not really give enough guidelines. I know what I want to firewall, I think I understand what it is all about. But I insufficient data to make an informed decision.. Sorry for such a ramble. I am sure others may appreciate an answer as well though. Thanks Cliff p.s. Anyone know whether xinted would be good for redirecting http/ftp in this scenario ? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
