Hi, thank you for any suggestions on my topic. Now Ive realized what is FW-Builder actually doing and I would like to hear your opinion. When I create interfaces in FW-Builder, the created script ( iptables script generated by fw-builder ) gets the IP address of the used interfaces by using ip -4 addr show dev "interface" which results as "no such interface" for a non-existing ppp tunnel end point! To use NAT for all packet from my ppp interfaces, fw-builder generates following -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s $i_ppp -j SNAT --to-source my_ext_ip This rule apparently works only with IP addresses after the "-s" option, right? Ive tried to use this rule for all my ppp interfaces by using -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s ppp+ -j SNAT.... but is says that ppp+ is unknown, so I suppose iptables require an ip/host entry here... can anyone tell me how to get all my PPP interfaces masqueraded on interface eth0?

Is this possible anyway ( please > don't tell me I have to configure 150 ppp interfaces in FW-Builder ) ??? If FW-Builder cannot handle the ppp+ syntax which is legal in iptables, I'd say that's a bug. Report it to maintainer.
