If everything from the ipfw machine works and it does not work for the =
clients that use the ipfw machine as their default gateway/nat, then I =
think this line should help.

${fwcmd} add 00601 allow any from me to any out via ${oif} setup =
keep-state
where me is the 192.168.1.0/24 for example, if your internal machines =
use this class ip.

Regards,
Patrick Soltani.

Thank you for the nice explanation of why it's not working.
If there is a solution buried in your explanation I did not get it.
Could you be more to the point and just say what needs to be added
or changed to get it to work.

Here's what happens:

  1) Machine on internal LAN sends out a SYN to some server on the
     Internet (192.0.2.100),

      10.100.100.2:1025 -> 192.0.2.100:80

  2) Packet goes in interface xl0, passes rule 110, gets routed,
     yada-yada.

  3) Packet goes through firewall rules on way out of tun0, hits rule
     10, diverted to natd(8), and rewritten as,

     110.170.155.117:4240 -> 192.0.2.100:80

    And natd(8) creates a state entry in its internal table for this
    connection.

  4) Rewritten packet reinjected to firewall, passes rule 600 and
     creates a state entry for,

     110.170.155.117:4240 <-> 192.0.2.100:80

     And packet goes out onto Internet.

  5) 192.0.2.100 responds and sends back the SYN-ACK,

     192.0.2.100:80 -> 110.170.155.117:4240

  6) The response comes in tun0, starts through firewall, matches rule
     10 and goes to natd(8). natd(8) has an entry for this and
     rewrites the packet to,

     192.0.2.100:80 -> 10.100.100.2:1025

  7) This packet is reinjected into the firewall and goes on... and
     falls through. It does NOT match any 'pass' rules. It hits the
     default 'deny,' and when this happens, natd(8) compains that it
     failed to write the packet back.

What happened in step (7)? Note that when the packet we got in step
(6) comes down to the (gratuitous) 'check-state' rule 500, it does NOT
match the state we generated in step (4).
