Shape incoming traffic using tc (and IFB?) on a NAT ed interface

linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I have an Ubuntu machine acting as a router/Stateful Firewall/NAT for my internet connection. It has a couple of ethernet ports and a wireless network for my home network (eth5, eth7, eth10 and wlan1). It is connected with a DSL modem in bridged mode giving it a connection to the internet called ppp0. I currently use tc and a simple rate limit (TBF, IIRC) to shape the outgoing traffic (which works great -- no matter how much is uploading, my connection does not increase latency because of it, which is the goal). What I would like to do is use tc to limit and prioritize my incoming traffic. I (HowTos)

I have an issue with my internet connection. I am using VPN (Aventail Client) to access the local resources. When connected to VPN the Internet traffic passes through it, not through my LAN or Wi-Fi network. I would like to change the routing table to use the Wi-Fi adapter of the PC for WAN traffic.

I am sharing my DSL internet connection using a modem+wireless router (single device) to 5 systems. I want all my internet traffic to go through one of the linux boxes in my network.

The problem here is that wireless devices connect directly to the modem+wireless router.

Is such routing of traffic possible??

PS: I am not sure if i could convey my situation clearly...

I run a web server (Debian Squeeze on a VPS), and the graphs provided by the hosting company show consistently that around twice as much traffic is incoming to the server compared to the outgoing traffic.

How could I configure Ubuntu to be setup as follows...

Wireless Client ----> Wireless Router ----> Home Server ----> Internet

What is needed to make all of the wireless traffic go to my internet connection port.

I will be having two ethernet cables plugged into the system one from the wireless router and one to my internet router.

I have a home LAN behind a Linux firewall connected to the Internet. The firewall also has a VPN connection to a remote host that can route traffic from the VPN to its Internet connection with NAT.

I want to configure the firewall to route the default (i.e.

Remote SSH login not working 1 year 12 weeks ago

I have a PC behind a router with port forwarding setup Port 22 for SSH which works perfectly - I can login and everything. What I am trying to do is let this PC connect to a VPN and only allow traffic on local network or via the VPN connection (for internet access). This is also working great. As soon as the VPN connection is broken, the PC has no connection to internet.

I have a router that is connected to the internet. To that router we connect via LAN and WAN. WAN settings are up, router user/pass, router access is secured with WPA/WPA-2. I want to make some computers, to be connected to the router (lan or wan) and will be protected from the outside world.

What is the best way doing so ?

I'm using a virtual Ubuntu Server (on Amazon EC2) and I want to connect to a PPTP VPN server to route outgoing traffic through this connection. To do this, I specify the following two options:

defaultroute replacedefaultroute

This works - but the moment the tunnel to route the traffic is established, my SSH connection to the server is broken and I can't reconnect.

I have some problems connecting a Playstation to my VPN via another PC.

Hardware: PC that should route incoming traffic from the Playstation to VPN: eth0 - connected to the internet eth1 - connected with my Playstation.
