Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
ipmasq package was orphaned with many bugs few months ago. Although I
have not been active using this package, I took over this since I reffer
this as a package to install for the easy gateway machine set-up in my
"Debian Reference". (I also had contributed some example scripts.)
I have fixed most of the bugs which were mostly simple fixes. I think
this package needs new maintainer with ithe strong firewall skill. So I
put this to RFA.

Description: Securely initializes IP Masquerade forwarding/firewalling
This package contains scripts to initialize IP Masquerade for use as a
firewall. IP Masquerade is a feature of Linux that allows an entire network
of computers to be connected to another network (usually the Internet) with
only one network address on the other network. IP Masquerade is often
referred to as NAT (Network Address Translation) on other platforms.
.
By default, this package configures the system as a basic forwarding
firewall, with IP spoofing and stuffed routing protection. The firewall
will allow hosts behind the firewall to get to the Internet, but not allow
connections from the Internet to reach the hosts behind the firewall.
However, ipmasq now features a very flexible framework where you can
override any of the predefined rules if you so choose. It also allows you
to control if the rules are reinterpreted when pppd brings a link up or
down.
.
This package should be installed on the firewall host and not on the
hosts behind the firewall.
.
IP Masquerade requires the kernel to be compiled with masquerading support
(please see documentation for specific kernel options required).
