Morning all, I've tried to google my way out of this issue but I seem to be overlooking something. Essentially I'm trying to turn my FreeBSD 9.1 server into my router since the BT HomeHub3 is a POS.
So anyways, I have successfully attached my server to BT Infinity using the PPPD daemon (using PPPoE over a USB NIC). The server has Internet basically (I'm posting this through a SSH proxy with it). However the router part of the setup appears to not be working, I have the following;
rc.conf:
sysctl:
But isn't a FreeBSD router supposed to be just this? I believe it doesn't need firewall rules to do any forwarding like iptables, so could someone point me in the direction of something I have missed? I do have hashed out PF values in rc.conf, but I can't work out if something is blocking the client or if the router isn't forwarding properly.
Thanks for any help guys.
