Subject: firewalling PPPOE stream without terminating it
Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2003 10:32:04 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F61D8E4.6020309@nortelnetworks.com> (raw)
I've got a PPPOE DSL line coming into my house, and I and my roommates
each terminate our own connection and get our own dynamic IP address.
With the recent bunch of viruses/worms, a couple of us were thinking
about setting up a box as a transparent firewalling bridge. The only
tricky bit is that we don't want to terminate the PPPOE connection at
that box, since that would then force us to do NAT/ipmasq.
Does anyone know of any way to filter the contents of a tunnelled packet
(PPPOE in particular) using standard tools like ebtables/iptables?
The other possibility I had considered was a netfilter module that tied
into the ebtables hooks and knew how to look inside the PPPOE packet,
but then I wouldn't get the userspace interface from ebtables/iptables.
Chris
