My apologiesHi everyone, I have a router/firewall on a public /24. I installed tircproxy in order to have a transparent proxy (to filter DCC send requests). Here are the lines related to IRC in my rc.firewall: ${IPTABLES} -t nat -A PREROUTING -s ${INTERNAL_LAN} -p tcp --dport 6660:6669 -j REDIRECT --to-port 7666 ${IPTABLES} -t nat -A PREROUTING -s ${INTERNAL_LAN} -p udp --dport 6660:6669 -j REDIRECT --to-port 7666 and here's the command I use to launch the proxy: tircproxy -s 7666 -b ${MY_IP} -S -K -R -I There are several strange things: - many connexions between my internal lan and external servers on port 6667 still exist... they shouldnt since I redirected the 6667 trafic? - many connexions between my router on ports >1024 and.... my router's port 7666! I was expecting local machines to connect on 7666, but not the router itself? IRC seems to be working for clients, but I think it does through direct connexions... Can anyone help me about that?
