I have a SIP phone within the LAN trying to connect to a proxy at an external site, say A. Can someone point out if I'm missing anything? Rules: $IPT -A FORWARD -o $INET_ETH -p udp --dport 5060 -j ACCEPT $IPT -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $INET_ETH -p udp --dport 5060 \ -j SNAT --to-source $INET_IP When I do a tcpdump, I can see traffic from the LAN go through my bastion Firewall that routes to my external-facing firewall. But there is no traffic coming back from the outside. 17:05:19.831000 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 127, id 1595, offset 0, flags [none], proto: UDP (17), length: 367) LAN_IP.5060 > A_SITE.5060: SIP, length: 339 There's no corresponding entry that has traffic going the other way: i.e.: IP (tos 0x0, ttl 127, id 1595, offset 0, flags [none], proto: UDP (17), length: 367) A_SITE.5060 > LAN_IP.5060: SIP, length: 339 I'm a bit confused. Any clarifications appreciated. Thanks Ed
