«ipmasq is a system to securely initialize IP Masquerade for use as a
forwarding firewall. IP Masquerade is a feature of the Linux kernel
that allows an entire network of computers to be connected to another
network (usually the Internet) with only one network address on that
other network. IP Masquerade is often referred to as NAT (Network
Address Translation) on other platforms.»

«pmasq is a utility designed to initialize IP Masquerade on Debian
Linux systems for use as a firewall. IP Masquerade is a feature of
Linux that allows an entire network of computers to be connected to
another network (usually the Internet) with only one network address
on the other network. IP Masquerade is often referred to as NAT
(Network Adress Translation) on other platforms.

By default, ipmasq configures the system on which it is installed as a
basic forwarding firewall with IP spoofing and stuffed routing
protection. The firewall will allow hosts behind the firewall to get
to the Internet, but not allow connections from the Internet to reach
the hosts behind the firewall. However, ipmasq features a very
flexible framework where you can override any of the predefined rules
if you so choose. It also allows you to control if the firewall rules
are reinterpreted when pppd brings a link up or down.»
