Re: tun0 share by the user in LAN ?

[Chris Gow <cgow_(_at_)_mgl_(_dot_)_ca>]

Make sure you've enabled ipnat and ipfilter.

in /etc/sysctl.conf uncomment this line:

net.inet.ip.forwarding=1

you will also need to enable portmapping and you do this by modifying the 
/etc/ipnat.rules file.

Also make sure that your OBSD box is set up as your network's gateway and 
you should be OK.

You are probably going to want to set up some filters in your ppp.conf 
file, otherwise your modem might be dialing constantly (like mine did/does :)

You can get more details by reading the relevant man pages (man ppp, man 
ipnat, man ipf(5) and man ipf(8).  Also, if you are configuring your 
OpenBSD box as a firewall, I also suggest getting 'Building Linux and 
OpenBSD Firewalls' from Wiley press.  Not a bad book.


Hope this helps you out
