Re: Linux system as a router

If you are doing NATting at the router you need a rule such as 
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQ if you have a dynamic address, or
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j SNAT --to-source 1.2.3.4 if you have a static address

you also need net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf

Then have your default route go out your WAN interface.
