Hi. I'm working on porting over some proxy code to FreeBSD. The problem is that the port is redirected using PF. When this happens, the code that linux uses to figure out what the original target address was doesn't work on BSD. It returns with the current target. Now, there's supposed to be a way to figure out what the original address was. The only notes I can find shows that it has something to do with pfioc_natlook and/or ioctl. Anyone have any idea how to do this?
Nevermind. I found an answer.
And I suppose it doesn't matter to anyone else, so you don't need to tell us what the answer is?Originally Posted by trinli

Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!

Sorry, I was gathering my notes into something that might be useful. It was actually fairly simple.
sorta pseudo code follows:
#include <net/pfvar.h>
define a struct of type pfioc_natlook (called var here) and fill in the info you know.
saddr.v4.s_addr - source address
sport - source port
daddr.v4.s_addr - destination address
dport - destination port
etc... (refer to the struct definition in pfvar.h for the full list)
fd = open /dev/pf
ioctl(fd, DIOCNATLOOK, &var);
addr = var.rdaddr.v4.s_addr;
The rdaddr is the redirect address. Also, port is available in the same way.
