Hi Folks: I am either using the multiport of the -m or --match option of iptables in correctly or there is a bug with it. Is anyone else using it with no problem? This is the way I am trying to use it: my_ports=21,25,80 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $wan_addr -p tcp -m multiport --dports $my_ports -j DNAT --to $my_internal_address I have used this in the past successfully but that was a few years ago. I get no errors or warnings it just ignors the ports. The multiport invokation shows up in an iptables -t nat -L -v however. The packet and byte counts never get incremented either from zero. Any pointers would sure be helpful, having to include a line for every port check seems wasteful.
