iptables

add following rules then /etc/init.d/iptables restart

/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1723 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 47 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p gre -j ACCEPT
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -s 10.8.8.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

PS: the last rule seems not correct thus I change following to rules config file NAS part directly

  • -I POSTROUTING -s 10.8.8.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
