Hello fellow netfilter users,

I have a strange problem and I think I should blame my ISP for that...

Recently I lost connectivity to some sites (i.e. digg.com, yahoo). The best part is that I can regain connectivity by clearing out all the rules from iptables.

So if I have empty chains - I can connect to digg. After I add one rule:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/16 -j MASQUERADE (or SNAT, doesn't make a difference)

I very much doubt it's your ISP. Maybe the

one-sided NAT does not usually work very well. Try adding both the symmetrical sides at once:

SNAT on the outbound request packets
  iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/16 -j SNAT ...

MASQUERADE on the inbound reply packets
 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 192.168.0.0/16 -j MASQUERADE
