Listening ports - vpn, proxy + p2p.
Hi, I'm running a large scale OpenVPN + proxy services on 6.2, mostly users are those using P2P clients such as emule and bittorrent protocols. Connections are made as follows: Users Openvpn(rl0) Socks5 (tun0) Internet (rl0) Most of them have no problem in downloading or uploading but none of them are able to get high ID for emule and connectable status in the bittorrent trackers. All servers are configured with Firewall_enable=NO and when I run netstat it will shows so many ports are connected BUT nmap says none of the ports are open. How do I get FreeBSD open and listen to those connections so that P2P clients can broadcast and listen using the proxy? With firewall off, all ports should be open but still p2p clients keep saying ports firewalled. TIA. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

are you doing nat? or actually providing REAL , routable IPs for your users?
if you are doing NAT, the only thing you may be able to do is to port forward
specific ports to each client. That may not work for all clients - emule may be
different to, say, limewire.
