Re: Accessing DSL Modem's web config from behind NAT router
I don’t know if the Netopia can do this, but I have a bridged modem in front of my OpenBSD box/firewall and can access the modem via conditional NAT on the OpenBSD box—and I feel this is the best method for doing this as it does not require any special configuration on the modem. Even though my modem is in bridged mode, it still has an IP—and I have my OpenBSD box configured in such a way that if traffic is going out to the Internet, the OpenBSD box NATs my IP out the public IP, but if traffic is destined to the private subnet between the OpenBSD box and the modem, my IP is NATted out the private IP that’s in the “modem” subnet. With this configuration, I can fully access the modem from any system on my LAN—and do not need to create a route on the modem that points back to the LAN to do so. |
