Hallo, I like to handle packages comming through an ipsec tunnel with dnat. But that works not completly. It looks as if the replypackages on the PREROUTED request aren't handeld. Or did I have just problems to understand it? Would be great if somebody can help me. Sorry, my english isn't very well and my computer knowlage even worse, but I wrote this for my husband who can't speak english at all. I really hope somebody can help us so my husband can do other things than hacking on his machine. 0 0 DNAT all -- ipsec0 * 10.10.200.0/24 172.28.2.162 Nov 29 16:59:39 fw kernel: IN=ipsec0 OUT=eth0 SRC=10.10.200.50 DST=192.168.168.80 LEN=84 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=62 ID=0 DF PROTO=ICMP TYPE=8 CODE=0 ID=30478 SEQ=62721 Nov 29 16:59:39 fw kernel: IN=eth0 OUT=eth1 SRC=192.168.168.80 DST=10.10.200.50 LEN=84 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=63 ID=17742 PROTO=ICMP TYPE=0 CODE=0 ID=30478 SEQ=62721 here more information: Computer A: IP 192.168.168.80 Reliant Unix Gateway A: eth0 192.168.168.59 eth1 130.168.100.1 # extern und ipsec-dev Kernel 2.4.4-SuSE, FreeSWAN 1.92 + X509 Gateway B: eth0 10.10.200.20 ippp0 130.168.200.2 # extern and ipsec-dev Kernel 2.4.4-SuSE, FreeSWAN 1.92 Computer B: IP 10.10.200.50 Linux Gentoo Computer A likes to reach Computer A via IP 172.28.2.162.
