You should have ppp do the NAT, yes. If you use ppp with the -auto or -ddial,
you can have on-demand dialing where ppp will attempt to bring up the link if
it drops. That means NAT should handle the link drop better (since ppp knows
to use the new connection's IP), and it also means that your firewall rules
can simply use tun0.
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf should contain something like:
default:
set log local connect ipcp lcp lqm chat
# set log all
ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)
enable lqr
set server 3000 xxxxx
set timeout 1200 # 20 minute idle timer
# enable dns # request DNS info (for resolv.conf)
set device PPPoE:fxp0:verizon
set login
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
\"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
set urgent udp +53
set urgent tcp +53
set urgent udp +123
set urgent tcp +123
set ifaddr 162.84.171.0/0 10.3.23.0/0 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0
add! default HISADDR # Add a (sticky) default route
nat enable yes
nat use_sockets yes
nat same_ports yes
nat port tcp 192.168.1.3:6667 6667
verizon:
set authname xxxxx
set authkey xxxxx
