Hi there, I have a question and a comment. Firstly, if I have a private class of IP numbers 192.168.168.1 - 255 and a BSD box with one single public IP number on the ppp link. I run ppp -ddial -alias myisp. This will permanently connect me to my ISP. I do not have any filters in place, so can anyone get to my private IP'ed network from the Internet, or because of the alias option and the private IP numbers not being routed are they blocked. Secondly, the documentation for setting filters should be perhaps a little bit clearer which section and which file the filter information should go in. I tried creating ppp.conf.filter, and only after a couple of hours searching did it occur to me that the filter commands should go into ppp.conf and the default section.
