ASG-120 "Drop-in mode"?

I have a network that uses the IP address range of 192.168.168.0, which was set up by the ISP.

I need to install a firewall behind the router (which I have no authority over) and I'd really rather not double-NAT or renumber the entire network.

Does anyone have any experience with this situation? I have looked through the forums and found nothing applicable.

I currently have all 4 interfaces operating in bridge mode, but I'm not sure that is the right way to do it. Right now, web browsing is spotty, sometimes being quick, sometimes so slow as to time out entirely. the other problem I'm having is that Skype will not connect to the Skype servers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • I too, would avoid double-natting.  Simply setting up a pair of bridged ports, with appropriate packet filter rules, should do the job.  You should not need to define any NAT rules whatsoever.  THe HTTP Proxy can be configured to run in transparent mode, it too should work fine.  I have a commercial customer that, due to various reasons, runs their Astaro in just this manner.
