Is the counter (first column) increased every time you try to connect your webserver? Yes! It does. The "pkts" increases once I try to connect the address 150.135.44.245. I think it is correct that destination "150.135.44.245 tcp dpt:80 to:150.135.45.96". Any idea? ------------------------------- Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT 512K packets, 78M bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 3 144 DNAT tcp -- eth0 * 0.0.0.0/0 150.135.44.245 tcp dpt:80 to:150.135.45.96 Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT 46739 packets, 2972K bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 46752 packets, 2973K bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination >> What does "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" show? 1 (so the ipv4-forward is opened).
