Re: [LARTC] Trying the configuration in nano.txt

UF. Sorry. I answered stupidly to your email. You replied about the
Julian's patches... I've sent a big amount of email, and not only
about a single configuration.

I don't know why, but now the patches work. I swear I haven't changed
anything in my configuration; simply, after rebooting, some minutes
without changing anything, everything worked. Strange, strange.

So, it works.

Thanks! - Wow, I've learnt a lot about netfilter and policy routing...
