Hello,
There are a few things to put together with coovachilli on linux.
Can you ping anything on the internet from the linux based machine?
If yes, then you don’t get proper routing.
The interface of the hotspot (not tun0, but its physical carrier) should have an ACCEPT, ACCEPT, REJECT firewall rule(input, output, forward) forwarding rule in the firewall file. It also has to have a proper zone section defined in the firewall file.
Like this:
config ‘zone’
option ‘name’ ‘eth3’ (e.g.)
option ‘input’ ‘ACCEPT’
option ‘output’ ‘ACCEPT’
option ‘forward’ ‘REJECT’
option masq ‘1’ (you probably need this to have NAT from this interface towards the gateway interface)
config ‘forwarding’
option ‘src’ ‘eth3’
option ‘dest’ ‘wan’ (gateway / internet source)
Let us know if this clears up the picture.
