NAME
ipmasq - set up IP Masquerading
SYNOPSIS
ipmasq [-dbngrhv]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page very briefly documents the ipmasq command.
ipmasq sets up IP Masquerading firewall rules using the ipfwadm,
ipchains or iptables command, depending on the kernel version.
ipmasq understands the following options:
-v, --verbose
Display the ipfwadm(8) or ipchains(8) commands that will be run.
-n, --no-act
Do not change any firewall rules.
-d, --display
Shorthand for --verbose --no-act
-g, --debug
Display the names of the rules files as they are being executed.
-r rules-dir, --rules rules-dir Use the rules files found in rules-
dir instead of /etc/ipmasq/rules
-V, --version
Print the version of the ipmasq package to the standard output
and exit.
-h, --help
Print a help message to the standard output and exit.
CAVEATS
ipmasq "takes over" the firewall rules table. To add firewall rules
such that they will survive a refresh of the rules table, add them a
file in the /etc/ipmasq/rules directory with a .rul extension. See
ipmasq-rule(5).
FILES
/etc/ipmasq/rules/*.{rul,def}
Rules files. See ipmasq-rule(5).
/etc/ipmasq/ppp
Empty file, which if present, gives ipmasq permission to
automatically refresh the rules table automatically when pppd
brings a link up or down.
/etc/ipmasq.rules
Deprecated. Additional rules to apply after the default rules.
Deprecated. Use a .rul file in /etc/ipmasq/rules instead.
