Hi folks, my internet connection is provided by a DSL modem connected to an ethernet card. The ppp0 device might exist when shorewall is started, but in some cases the dialin has not yet been triggered by some network traffic. Then it has an 10... address (instead of an IP of my provider). (Maybe this only happens if I forget to switch on the modem before booting the PC, but I am not sure. My box runs under Debian Etch.)
Today I realized that shorewall failed to start, as I assigned the "norfc1918" option to ppp0, but ppp0 had one of these 10... addresses. Could you remove that check for norfc1918 options on interfaces with rfc1918 addresses, Tom, please? For me an interface with all traffic filtered due to an configuration error is preferable to a box without any filtering. Thanks in advance for comments.
