Hi,

I'm running LibreELEC (official): 9.2.6 on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2.

I have an STB next to my RPi which doesn't have Wi-Fi, so I want to share Internet to it through the Ethernet interface of the RPi.

My home network is 192.168.1.0/24

The tethered network is 192.168.0.0/24

The device behind the RPi is getting IP and can reach ALL devices in the LAN. However, there is no Internet access and the problem seems to be in the RPi which for some reason is not passing back the returning traffic to the tether/eth0.

I installed the network tools addon and I ran tcpdump. The NAT is working properly. I see that the returning traffic from the Internet is hitting wlan0, but is not going out through eth0/tether.

Here are some outputs:

Code

As you can see in the end, for some reason the RPi returns TTL expired and can't send the traffic back to the tether... And this is happening only for Internet IP Addresses. Pinging my edge router - 192.168.1.1 works just fine.
