[Wifidog] [Fwd: Re: connection problem]

[Philippe April]

Okay I implemented a new rule that catches traffic coming from the 
clients to the gateway, however there does not seem to be much going on 
since my laptop still times out if it's not doing anything... It's not 
in CVS.

We could "trigger" traffic, by icmp pinging clients (laptops)... If 
they respond, we get traffic in the client-go-gateway rule.

However, I'm not sure if this will work, maybe some crazy laptops will 
have a firewall that blocks ICMP echo requests. Anyway we could always 
say "you need to respond to icmp requests otherwise you'll time-out.

dnsmasq implements some code to icmp-ping an address before allocating 
it, we could use that.

And btw, at the moment, Supreme is down (seems to be the pppoe 
connection, because I can not log in via the openvpn tunnel).

Hopefully it'll come back up by itself.
