Re: l2tp / ipsec follow up

I suggested to re-configure your cable modem as a bridge,
so your OpenBSD-box gets public IP and not private (as you have it now).

On old days then I had a cable modem, I done exactly like this.

This WILL make your life easier. Trust me.
As you don’t really have any control of OS(Linux) inside your cable modem.
Nor services (ex. dhcpd) running inside.

And then you get connection problems, you’ll look for a problem and will end
up in
resetting/rebooting several devices(modem, openbsd-box).
