Hello, i'm new on this list, so please be patient with me. Anyway - I did my homework (at least i think so) but i'm stuck nevertheless. All man pages and docs i found seem to indicate that what i want is impossible, but i hope, someone might have an idea...
I want to use ftp-proxy for outgoing client-requests. The main reason for that is the automatic handling of pf rules that allow traffic on the data connection without opening up the firewall to any ip/port for outbound traffic. I'm unsing OpenBSD 5.0. I know, the ftp-proxy is purely transparent and is invoked by a divert-to rule. But - divert-to is only allowed on inbound rules - rdr-to is not supported on outbound rules, if the destination is a locally assigned address So how can i get packets to port 21 that originate from the host itself processed by the ftp-proxy. Background: I'm using squid on this host and i want it to serve ftp:// URLs via http. This usage doesnt seem to be unusual and there might be a solution i didn't think of/find... Thanks in advance Thomas
