Thank you for your help. 2018-03-12 12:25 GMT+01:00 Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx>: > (Or i still fail to understand what you want to do, it does > sound exactly like expectations, e.g. for ftp data channel in > response to PASV command on ftp control channel). No, what I would like to have is more like FTP *active* connexion. The (in-lan) client is initiating a connection to the server. The server replies and the initiate a new connection (data connection for FTP) on a new port. I want this new connection to be associated to the first one. This is also what we have with rtsp or battle-net protocols. > Something like: > > chain postrouting { > type filter hook postrouting priority 0; > # tell kernel to install an expectation > # arriving on udp ports 6970-7170 > # expectation will follow whatever NAT transformation > # is active on master connection > # expectation is removed after 5 minutes > # (we could of course also allow to install an expectation > # for 'foreign' addresses as well but I don't think its needed > # yet > ip dport 554 ct expectation set udp dport 6970-7170 timeout 5m > } It may be what I'm looking for. But I couldn't find any documentation about this “ct expectation” command. Or do you mean I should create a conntrack helper module for that ? -- Bien cordialement, / Plej kore, Stéphane Veyret -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
