Normally, you don't any specific rules to make it work - it works as-is out=
 of=20
the box unless your system configures a firewall. If you tell your system t=
o=20
disable the firewall entirely everything will work.
What distribution are you using ? OpenWRT ?

The gateway handling (i.e. gate0) is documented:

=46eel free to ask questions that the documentation does not answer. :-)

Wow, sounds interesting. Where will that be ?
