I'm having difficulty with clients connecting to a game I'm hosting
over the internet.
So I'm wondering if my PREROUTING rule is conflicting with my FORWARD
rule.
Then I should not have to worry about these FORWARD rules interfering
with the prerouted data getting to the server at 192.168.170.6 ---
$IPTABLES -t filter -A FORWARD -i ppp0 -o eth1 -m state --state
ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -t filter -A FORWARD -i ppp0 -o eth2 -m state --state
ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
Am I right or wrong?
If wrong, is the only way then to change the FORWARD rule to -j ACCEPT
and leave out the ESTABLISHED,RELATED requirement?
You just missing out on the rule to accept NEW state connections on your
game ports
$IPTABLES -t filter -A FORWARD -i ppp0 -m state --state NEW -p tcp -m
multiport --dports 34297,34397,34447 -j ACCEPT
Same rule for udp connections.
Thanks for your time and assistance.
