>7.8. ( MASQ and Dynamic IPs ) - Does IP Masquerade work with dynamically
assigned IP addresses?</H1
><P
><STRONG
>Yes</STRONG
>, it works with either dynamic IP
addressed assigned by your ISP via either PPP or a DHCP server (common for
Cablemodem and DSL users). As long as you have a valid Internet IP address,
it should work. Of course, static IPs work too. If you plan on implementing
a strong IPTABLES, IPCHAINS, or IPFWADM ruleset and/or plan on using a Port
forwarder, your ruleset will have to be re-executed everytime your IP address
changes.</P
><P
>So, re-running the rc-firewall-* ruleset really depends on which method you
get your IP addresses:</P
><P

><UL

><P
>PPP: The /etc/ppp/ip-up script is always run when a PPP connection comes
up. Because of this, we can make the rc.firewall-* go get the new PPP IP
address and update the firewall ruleset. If the /etc/ppp/ip-up file doesn't
exist or if does exists, simply edit that file and append a line containing
the name of your chosen firewall ruleset. For example, to run the SIMPLE
IPTABLES ruleset:

>DHCP: If you get your IP address via DHCP, common for Cablemodem and DSL
users, it's easy get the rc.firewall-* ruleset to run when you get a new
IP lease. How this happens depends on what DHCP client your distribution
uses:

>dhclient</STRONG
> : Most modern Linux distributions
use dhclient from ISC. To re-run your specific rc-firewall-* script when your
system gets a new IP address, add the following line to the
/etc/dhclient-exit-hooks file. Please note that this example is loging the
SIMPLE IPTABLES ruleset. Please use the correct rc.firewall-* name for your
specific setup:

>pump</STRONG

note that this example is loading the SIMPLE IPTABLES ruleset. Please use the
correct rc.firewall-* name for your specific setup:

</P

>For newer dhcpcd client versions, append the following line to the
/etc/dhcpcd-[interface].exe file. Please note that you have to replace the
[interface] text with the name of your Interface connecting to the Internet.
For this example, we are going run the SIMPLE IPTABLES ruleset against the
eth0 interface by editing the /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.exe file:

</P
><P
>For old dhcpcd client versions, you need to figure out what script starts up
dhcpcd (depends on the Linux distribution and it's version). From there, you
need to replace the specific dhcpcd line with the folling line with the
correct Internet-facing interface name. For this example, dhcpcd will run
the SIMPLE IPTABLES ruleset against the eth0 interface:
