Hi,
I am a begginer to Linux and I have a PREROUTING rule that makes port redirection on incoming packages. But there is a server that don`t accept that, and works only without that rule. How can I bypass the rule for that server specifically?
If iptables works by matching rules and leaving the other ones without checking them, then I should insert a rule before that and the problem is solved. Is this correct?
Sorry if the question might be stupid, but I am taking the chance for being stupid now (and maybe not forever). >)
Yes, you can place an ACCEPT rule before the REDIRECT rule and that will halt processing in the PREROUTING chain for that match. Thanks for asking :-) - John --
From what I've learned so far, one can only use on chain PREROUTING the tables nat and mangle.
How can I use an ACCEPT rule on these tables? Doesn't that suppose to use the filter table, which can't be used in the PREROUTING chain?
Thanks
