Hello, Many thanks for all reply to my Bridge Transparent Proxy post. But, please let me know more how to enable "netfilter Bridge Support" in kernel. Can I add a linke CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER=y" in /etc/sysctl.conf ?? And, in the second iptables command what is physdev and physdev-in?? Does this mean physdev= eth0 and physdev-in = eth1?? Sorry for my quetion. I am newbie in iptables and don't understand very well? My another qutesion is, do I need to use NAT command in iptables? As I have all public address and why I have to use NAT to redirect?
