Masquerading question

wingman
Hi All

I would like to confirm whether the following is normal. I have set Masquerading rule from internal network to wan (external)

However, when checking the bandwidth monitor I always see internal ip

Attached image is for eth2 (wan) interface. I am downloading the 7.501 image at the moment and that's why you see the connection to 213.x.x.x

86.156.24.79 is my WAN address

How can I verify that my internal ips are not shown on the outside world?

Thanks

    I think when you see your external IP as a source, that's because the traffic is coming from a proxy.  When it's traffic allowed by a PF rule, then you see the true origin. If your internal IPs were being sent, you wouldn't get a response, so the packets being sent MUST be masqueraded with the IP of your 'External (Address)'.

    Don't you think?

    Cheers - Bob
