Theres the router in addition to iptables to deal with. I've actually made several passes at it, but the relative lack of error reporting cripples me in that its a failure, but totally silent when I try to start a tracker. No traffic goes out that I can see. My 'outside' dsl address is 151.205.56.129. I don't think you'll see anything there but a closed identd port. I've logged 3 attempts at getting into the firewall machine in 3 years, and two of them came from compromised verizon dns servers. I send vz a nastygram, and I lose my primary dns for a few hours the next day while they re-image their winderz box again...
