As you say, the problem was when a server with 192.168.0.x, passing through 192.168.0.1 (that is the ROUTER), and try to connect to 151.8.47.x (the real server's PUBLIC IP). This is the desidered flow: 192.168.0.2-->151.8.47.A-->192.168.0.3 So i think that i need additiona rules to MASQ/DNAT connection to 151.8.47.x !
