Hi, sorry, I have to ask another time. I do port forwarding for a host inside my local domain. Say my router is 192.168.7.1, the HTTP hosting machine is 192.168.7.33; queries from outside reach it perfectly and those from for example 192.168.7.80 do as well. The commands that do this are dst=192.168.7.33 prt=80 src=192.168.7.1 $IPT -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p tcp --dport $prt -j DNAT --to $dst:$prt $IPT -t nat -A PREROUTING -d $src -p tcp --dport $prt -j DNAT --to $dst:$prt $IPT -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d $dst -m conntrack --ctorigdst $src -j SNAT --to $src The only host that doesn't reach 192.168.7.33 is the router itself. Now I desire to run a proxy on the router. I want calls to 127.0.0.1, to 192.168.7.1 and to its ppp0 address _from_ the router to be redirected to 192.168.7.33. They don't. router ~ # telnet 192.168.7.1 80 Trying 192.168.7.1... Connected to 192.168.7.1. Escape character is '^]'. ^] telnet> quit Connection closed. router ~ # /etc/init.d/lighttpd stop * Stopping lighttpd ... [ ok ] router ~ # telnet 192.168.7.1 80 Trying 192.168.7.1... telnet: connect to address 192.168.7.1: Connection refused router ~ # What do I miss?
