Yes that's kinda true. I just wonder that nobody asked about a solution before. Does everybody uses a hack familiar to pfctl -F all each 23hrs, 58 minutes and n seconds? :) Either no developer uses aDSL at home (with a ISP forcing him to reconnect every 24 hours) or nobody uses OpenBSD as router or nobody uses the connection permanently. :-/ It's hard to imagine that there's no other solution. > You set $ext_if to "pppoe0".

In fact pf should do exactly the same but with pppoe0 it just doesn't work (with tun0 it's all uberslow but works, no pfctl-execution needed). Is that a behavior wich is totaly kernel related and do I've realy no other option then using pfctl via cron to reactivate nat/routing because the IP of pppoe0 changed (that's realy stone age bs...)? :-/ I'm no pppoe nor a kernel expert so I'm happy about every piece of clarification. :-) Kind regards, Sebastian
