Hello,
no your english was good enough to describe your setup. And I would say
that 90% of "us" have a form of "dialup" with on routable ip address and a
NAT setup.
First bind is not "standard" in this kind of situation and makes things
overly complicated. I would recommend dnsmasq instead. It is much more
staight forward for a NAT box to setup. It will also provide you with a
dhcp server.
And in your situation you also want to disable/avoid the NetworkManager.
It is quite easy because evry device you list in /e/n/i will be
automaticaaly ignored by the NetworkManager.
And clearly because you have difficulties in setting this up doesn't make
all of this a bug.
Also I want to mention to setup a router with Red Hat or with debian is
possible but there a distributions which are much more suited for this
purpose. I personally like pfsense and opnsense. Both are based on BSD but
they are excellent for SOHO routing.
