Currently the firewall is a Test-Setup with IPCop. Since the IpCop-Interface does not support ESP I added these iptables rules to the zillions of rules put in place by ipcop to make it work, probably a bit to open anyway :-) : iptables -A INPUT -p 50 -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -p 50 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -p 50 -j ACCEPT How would I modify these to pass on the packets without NAT? Thanks a lot, Rainer Arnst
