That's why you have physdev match that allows one to match the _physical_ interface, among all ones belonging to the bridge, that actually received the packet. cbr@elendil:~$ iptables -m physdev --help iptables v1.2.8 [...] physdev v1.2.8 options: --physdev-in [!] input name[+] bridge port name ([+] for wildcard) --physdev-out [!] output name[+] bridge port name ([+] for wildcard) So, in your case : iptables -A FORWARD -i br0 -m physdev --physdev-in $EXTIF \ -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT -- http://www.netexit.com/~sid/ PGP KeyID: 157E98EE FingerPrint: FA62226DA9E72FA8AECAA240008B480E157E98EE >> Hi!
