Hi Chris,

The rule was already there:

ipfw add allow gre from any to any

I also added "ipfw add allow gre from any to any frag" to pass fragmented GRE packets.

Hi all,

I am currently running ipfw from FreeBSD-5.3-RELEASE on my box. The
box passes GRE packets from the external to the internal network. We
run Microsoft RDP over PPTP through the firewall. After upgrading to
FreeBSD 5.3, we realised that the RDP connections never get initiated.
 When I did a tcpdump on the internal and external interfaces of the
FW, I realised that there were fragmented GRE packets arriving at the
FW, but however, these packets do not leave the FW. I also observed
the SEQ no. in the GRE packets ingress/egress, and there were missing
GRE packets on the egress.

My deduction was that ipfw was dropping these fragmented GRE packets,
but however, these events were shown on syslog. How do I make ipfw log
dropped/silently rejected packets? How to I prevent ipfw from dropping
these packets?

GRE would need a rule.

ipfw add allow gre from any to any

To turn off your logging abilities, don't use log or logmount in your rule bodies.
