Hello,

 

You're right, looking again at this rule, it is unwanted to do the NAT
on the inbound packets 

of the internal interface when the firewall is connected to multiple
networks/interfaces.

 

Thanks for the pointer to pf.conf(5). But what is meant with the
statement a 'local IP address' in this context?. 

 

Thx Rob

Hello,

pass in on $int_if from $network nat-to $ext_if is different from
pass out on $ext_if from $network nat-to $ext_if


Also from pf.conf(5)

               nat-to is usually applied outbound.  If applied inbound,
nat-to
               to a local IP address is not supported.

Hello,

In a multi-homed setup I am trying to route out packets over the
secondary interface on which also NAT is done. 

The environment consists of a OpenBSD 4.9 Firewall with 3 em interfaces,
connected to 2 DSL providers

em0: internal interface

em1: first DSL 

em2: second DSL

I did dome testing with the understanding ruleset, where I have
specified a nat-to and route-to statement in a single rule

########### rules ###########

pass in  log on em0 from 192.168.1.118 nat-to (e2gress:0) route-to (em2
80.100.x.x)

pass out log on em2

########### states ###########

all icmp 74.125.77.104:8 <- 80.100.x.x:54000 (192.168.1.118:9035)
0:0

all icmp 80.100.x.x:54000 -> 74.125.77.104:8       0:0

This setup somewhat works. When pinging an upstream host, the packets
get send out over the secondary interface, but the first packet is
always dropped! 

According to the pf.conf man page this rule specification is possible.
My question is this kind of rule specification allowed and intended to
be working in PF?

 

When splitting the nat-to / route-to statement in the ruleset everything
works fine.

########### rules ###########

pass in  log on em0 from 192.168.1.118 route-to (em2 80.100.x.x)

pass out log on em2 from 192.168.1.118 nat-to (em2:0)

########### states ###########

all icmp 74.125.77.104:8 <- 192.168.1.118:8779       0:0

all icmp 80.100.x.x:9676 (192.168.1.118:8779) -> 74.125.77.104:8
0:0

        Regards Rob
