Hi,
there is another question I'd like to ask:
My setup consists of two WRT54GLv1.1 routers that use WDS with an unsecured wireless network. I have configured an own subnet for the eth1 (wlan) interface on the router connected to the network/internet and blocked all traffic from wlan (eth1) to the network except for the OpenVPN connection to the first router itself. Clients should get access to the network using the OpenVPN connection.
When using only the first router, everything works fine, but as soon as I power on the second router which is connected via WDS, I suddenly get network access without using the OpenVPN connection. I checked the first router and found out that another interface (wds0.1) comes into play at this time, but the problem is that iptables rules seem to have no effect on this interface. Does anybody have experience with this?
