Hello,
As a follow up to this short sighted pr that I opened, I have produced a
patch.
I have been in contact with Marc Silver (the author of the
dialup-firewall tutorial) and he has approved the patch.
I am enclosing the mentioned patch as an attachment.
Thank you.
ncalvo

+ <answer>
+ <para>This tutorial assumes that you are running
+ <emphasis>userland-ppp</emphasis>, therefore the supplied ruleset
+ operates on the <devicename>tun0</devicename> interface, which
+ corresponds to the first connection made with &man.ppp.8; (a.k.a.
+ <emphasis>user-ppp</emphasis>). Additional connections would use
+ <devicename>tun1</devicename>, <devicename>tun2</devicename> and so
+ on.</para>
+
+ <para>You should also note that &man.pppd.8; uses the
+ <devicename>ppp0</devicename> interface instead, so if you start the
+ connection with &man.pppd.8; you must substitute
+ <devicename>tun0</devicename> for <devicename>ppp0</devicename>. A
+ quick way to edit the firewall rules to reflect this change is shown
+ below. The original ruleset is backed up as
+ <filename>fwrules_tun0</filename>.</para>

+
+ <para>To know whether you are currently using &man.ppp.8; or
+ &man.pppd.8; you can examine the output of &man.ifconfig.8; once the
