Hi Can you do a packet capture on the firewall and also closer to the 2 hops that don't work,
some ISPs / hotspots rewrite TTL to prevent a client Noting and sharing the connection with someone else tcpdump and have a look a the ttl field of packets in both direction ... the TTL is close to 1 that is probably your issue, On Wed, 3 Jul 2024 at 20:49, jrmu <j...@ircnow.org> wrote: > > Greetings, > > I'm trying to get packet filter to provide NAT for a group of routers I > set up as follows: > > R1 <--> Internet > 10.1/16 > ^ > | > veb12 > | > R2 <--veb23--> R3 <--veb35--> R5 10.5/16 > 10.2/16 10.3/16 > ^ ^ > \ / > veb24 / > \ veb34 > \ / > > R4 < > 10.4/16 > > At R1, I have this packet filter rule to perform NAT on packets going to the > Internet: > > match out on egress from !(egress:network) to any nat-to (egress:0) > > When I run $ ping 1.1.1.1 from R2, packets are successfully NAT'd to the > public IP address, and ping works. > > However, when I run $ ping 1.1.1.1 from any other node (R3, R4, or R5), the > packets are sent to R1 but not properly NAT'd.
