Hi Folks, I got a new FTTH connection from a relatively new ISP and I am having trouble rewriting headers with nathelper. I am not sure if this is the right mailing list to post this to, but here it goes. My ISP offers static IPv4 behind cgnat, where I am assigned a DHCP lease in the 100.64.0.0/10 range, and they do their own NAT which just ends up being a 1-1 port map of the external ports to my internal IP. I know that if I SNAT to the public IP my packets get rewritten correctly but my ISP firewall drops the packet, I know I have a static ipv4 and incoming connections work and are on the right ports and the same with outgoing connections. I also do know that they do not rewrite the packets for me and I wouldnt trust them to do that. I do not know which would be a good way to make it Rewrite the header to my public IP, but keep the interface IP as source IP. I am not sure if anyone else uses this configuration for public IPs except my ISP, not sure how useful it would be to add the capability if its not already included. I would love some guidance on how to rewrite the contact headers in the packets while maintaining the Source Address the same
