There are multiple ways to achieve this. * The Ethernet Frame Diverter which allows you to operate as a transparent bridge. The URL is in the HOWTO * The TTL target in iptables. This allows you to raise the TTL again, so nobody might see your router. If you disallow certain ICMP Port Unreachable messages, I think your router won't appear in traceroute. You need to use proxy arp tricks to draw packets into your router if you want it to be totally transparent.
