Hello,

For many years I would build FreeBSD firewalls and they would be very, very simple - I just set gateway_enable="yes" in rc.conf and everything just worked.

However, these firewalls *always* had real, routable IPs no both sides. Both interfaces had real, routable IPs.

Now I have a firewall that has two non-routable IPs for its interfaces, and is connected to a internet router with the real IP. When I try to builda very simple firewall it does not work, and I am forced to use ipdivert and natd.

If I use ipdivert and natd, it works just fine.

So, am I correct that I can create a simple gateway without natd/divert as long as both interfaces are real IPs, but if both interfaces are non-routable IPs, I am forced to use divert/natd ?

Is that correct ?
