Hello: I'm kind of new to IpTables, and I'm having problems to do this kind of port forwarding in my Fedora Core 3:
Suppose I have some user trying to access Host X:Port X on the Internet from my Linux, but Instead of that I want to forward this traffic to the localhost:Port Y, what rule I have to apply?
Thanks in advance, Alejandro
Alejandro, are you wanting to redirect the traffic of someone (or something / some daemon) running locally on the box that will be doing the redirection? Or are you wanting to redirect the traffic from an internet connected client to a different system? From what I read of your question the situation is the former. As such I'm going to answer that question.
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d $HostX -p tcp --dport $PortX -j REDIRECT --to-ports $PortY
Grant. . . .
