Apologies if the question seems too stupid, but I'm just starting out.



Problem



I have two network interfaces 



eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:35:00:01:21

Need to route UDP traffic on 192.168.10.1 (ppp0) port 9500 to 172.24.176.221 (eth0) port 9500 and visa versa, i.e. route UDP traffic on 172.24.176.221 port 9500 to 192.168.10.1 port 9500.



Some context.
ppp0 is a PPP running on a serial line. The command to instantiate it is pppd -detach persist debug local noauth passive xonxoff lock dump 192.168.10.1:192.168.10.100 /dev/ttyS0 9600



I've been reading online on how to do it and it seems I either need to make a virtual network bridge or I need to setup port forwarding.



My question is what exactly I need, port forwarding or a network bridge?






port-forwarding bridge

          Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
