I don't have enough time to comment on all of this, but using loops increases
readability, so

$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d $INET_IP --dport 4661 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.111.2:4661
$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d $INET_IP --dport 4662 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.111.2:4662

$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p UDP -d $INET_IP --dport 4665 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.111.2:4665
$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p UDP -d $INET_IP --dport 4672 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.111.2:4672

should become

for port in 4661 4662 4711 4000 4665 4672; do
    $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d $INET_IP --dport $port -j DNAT
        --to-destination 192.168.111.2
done

Apply this to other apt locations in your firewall script as well.


Kind regards,
