(Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ All, Many stations are suggesting that those with devices behind firewalls simply add the device to the DMZ. This is an unsafe suggestion. I worked on this issue for many months and discovered how to route traffic through Linux Kernel, DD-WRT, OpenWRT and most D-Link based routers. IP Protocol Number Four (4 - IPENCAP) must be allowed. **In DD-WRT 1.) Browse to Administration > Commands 2.) Enter the commands either for either static or dynamic IP configuration 3.) Click "Save Firewall" **OpenWRT CLI 1.) Edit firewall "vi /etc/firewall.user" 2.) Enter the commands either for either static or dynamic IP configuration 3.) Save file and quit vi editor 4.) Reboot Device **OpenWRT LuCI GUI Option #1 (Recmmonded) 1.) Browse to: Network > Firewall > Port Forwards > New Port forward 2.) Enter the following information: - Name:<enter name> - Protocol:<select "other"> - External Port <leave blank, IPENCAP protocol does not use port numbers> - Internal Zone <lan> - Internal IP address <IP of you 44GW Device> - Internal Port <leave blank, IPENCAP protocol does not use port numbers> 3.) Click "Add" 4.) Browse to: Network > Firewall > Port Forwards 5.) Click "edit" on the new entry 6.) Change "protocol" to --custom-- 7.) The protocol dropdown will change to a textbox, enter "4" in the box 8.) Click "Save & Apply" **OpenWRT LuCI GUI Option #2 1.) Browse to: Network > Firewall > Custom Rules 2.) Enter the commands either for either static or dynamic IP configuration 3.) Click "Save & Apply" **On D-Link 1.) Browse to Network Settings > Advanced > Virtual Server 2.) Add name and IP address of 44GW, or select IP from the list and click the "<<" button 3.) Change Protocol to "Other" and enter "4" in the box under Protocol 4.) Click "Save Settings" **Command for Static IP (tested on DD-WRT and OpenWRT): iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p ipencap -d <GW Public IP> -j DNAT --to-destination <GW LAN IP> iptables -t filter -I FORWARD -p ipencap -d <GW LAN IP> -j ACCEPT **Command for Dynamic IP - (WAN is vlan1 in DD-WRT in OpenWRT it is usually eth0.1): iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p ipencap -i vlan1 -j DNAT --to-destination <GW LAN IP> iptables -t filter -I FORWARD -p ipencap -d <GW LAN IP> -j ACCEPT 73, Lynwood KB3VWG _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net http://www.ampr.org/donate.html
