On ppp links, I like to use ppp -ddial -alias for my connections and not use natd on my, in this case, tun0. I also sometimes use kernel pppd between the office for my home network and use proxyarp in the options file. I haven't had any problems with that either. It just grabs the MAC off my ethernet card and goes to work:-) As far as configuration, you might try the firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="open" natd_enable="YES" natd_interface=ppp0 in your rc.conf which is similar to what you have. I would still go with ppp -alias :-) the famous "kiss" concept :-) Good luck, ed To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
