Hi there,

On the admin page for trapping passthroughs it says:
"When enabled, PacketFence uses pfdns if you defined /Passthroughs/ or Apache mod-proxy if you defined /Proxy passthroughs/ to allow trapped devices to reach web sites."

Can someone please explain me how this, technically, works?
AFAIK pfdns does only DNS, so how can it pass through requests? Or does this sentence only mean that DNS requests to passthrough domains are resolved to their real IPs? And then PF lets packets with these destination IPs through the firewall?

Regards,
Till
