OK. I didn't know you wanted to NAT the traffic. If you have the default gw on your client-net set to the client-gw AND you forward the traffic, i.e. set your ip_forward to 1 AND you allow that in your iptables, there is no need to NAT the traffic at all. (If you have a static route set to your server-net via the tunnel) I have a similar setup and all I do is: excerpt from `route -n` 192.168.42.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 tun0 192.168.42.0 192.168.42.1 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 tun0 Which means the fw fins 192.168.42.1 by looking through the tunnel, and the whole network by looking at the far end of the tunnel. On the other side it is the exact the same way, except of course turned around. I saved myself the trouble of having an extra net fo rthe tunnel, I just gave the tun0 device the same ipaddress as the internal (i.e. the client) network. so it actually looks like this: 192.168.42.0/24 ---192.168.42.1 ---tunnel---192.168.1.101--192.168.1.0/24 This setup has worked very well for me for years, if you see anything wrong with it let me know, I am willing to learn. As long as packets get forwarded on both gateways there is no need to NAT. I can ping any machine from either network, and have samba working for all those clients, so it must be reasonable. As for traffic shaping, I would do the shaping on the internal interface (the one pointing to your network behind the fw), there you have control of incoming traffic via htb (as the traffic going to the clients is outgoing). I hope all of this is correct.
