You can either go with a "transparent" proxy solution like socks that requires a socks complient client (most popular clients have socks support). soccks is available in the ports/packages collection. Second way is to set up specific application proxies. This way you need a specific application for each protocol you need to pass through the firewall. The added benefit is mainly caching, and better control. For some of those, look at the fwtk (also in the ports). The third is indeed to do IP Masquerading. This is a bit tough, but can be set up with IPfilter. > Does gated help? No, gated is for routing which is not the point here. > > c u Jo > > > Nadav
