The supplied ruleset operates on the "tun0" interface. However, when opening a PPP connection through a modem the "ppp0" interface is used instead (as reported by /sbin/ifconfig ). >How-To-Repeat: Follow the tutorial and, afterwards, open a ppp conection through a modem. You will find that no traffic is allowed through that connection due to the following firewall rule 65435 deny log ip from any to any >Fix: In the sgml source file of the tutorial, substitute "tun0" for "ppp0". I am mailing a patch to both, the author of the tutorial (Marc Silver): marcs@draenor.org and to the -doc list: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
