Hello,
Just noticed few packets which pass SNAT in POSTROUTING without
altering their SRC. The problem has been obscured by the fact, that all
works in general, no one complain.
After I add REJECT rule for "-m state --state INVALID" connections,
unmodified (not NATed) packets have disappeared. All right now.
Why INVALID connections pass thru NAT instead of dropping them? It
seems like a security risk, when hacker can listen not-NATed packets
behind the router and learn a network topology.
