[ale] VPN / NAT question from meeting

[George Allen]

So, there was a question about sharing a VPN connection with a LAN
through NAT. I believe something like this should work:

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -d 10.0.0.0/8 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o tun0 -j MASQUERADE
sysctl net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct=1

/break/

I haven't read through it all, but this looks interesting, with regard
to building one's own tunnel:

Also, the Linux HOWTOs are kindof dated, but they're still good
reading and reference:

Hope this helps,
