[snip] Thanks, I think I remember a thread about that, but it was for the case where FreedomBox was acting as a server for other FreedomBoxes. Some ISPs block connections in. (A VPN, Tor, other type of connection would be needed to get around this.) The firewall is about going the other way around: services on the FreedomBox (e.g. a web browser) going out to the Internet (versus from the Internet to a FreedomBox.) Should work. But, I'd be interested to read any other threads on this, if I've missed something. I did this Google search and only found one thread on NAT: https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=intitle%3Anat+inurl%3Afreedombox-discuss+site%3Alists.alioth.debian.org&btnG=Search&hl=en&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&gbv=1 It was: Firewall + NAT article on freedomboxblog.nl http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/freedombox-discuss/2011-June/001687.html
