Ever since I upgraded to a Linksys router running OpenWRT I've been wondering how I can get it to do something I really liked about my old Netgear router: Make the WAN address always respond the same way from the inside (LAN) as it does from the outside (Internet). For instance, if i hit port 80 on the router's outside address I want it to forward me to the web server behind the router whether I'm away from home or not. As it is now trying to connect to the WAN address always gets me the same thing as if I had tried to connect to the router's LAN address, even though the IP's are different.
To put that in terms of firewall rules I want the packets destined for the WAN address to be processed by the rules for the WAN interface regardless of which interface they came in on... I think. If that didn't make sense please ask a clarifying question. I tried, really I did. Is there some way to make this happen? /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
