So after several hours of trying different things, I've finally figured out how to do them, and improved the example config. Could someone in charge please update the example on the wiki? Specifically the example config given in the section "Simple router using ppp interface".

'ct state new,untracked' is implicitly assumed after vmap, so you could move (and consolidate) this rule: meta iifname $DEV_WORLD ip daddr $IP_SERVER tcp dport { 8443, 8080 } accept > # connections from the internal net to the internet or to other > # internal nets are allowed > iifname $DEV_PRIVATE accept > > # the rest is dropped by the above policy > } > > chain postrouting { > type nat hook postrouting priority 100; policy accept; > > # hairpin part 2/2 > ip saddr $NET_PRIVATE ip daddr $IP_SERVER tcp dport 8443 snat $ROUTER > ip saddr $NET_PRIVATE ip daddr $IP_SERVER tcp dport 8080 snat $ROUTER Consolidate rule: ip saddr $NET_PRIVATE ip daddr $IP_SERVER tcp dport { 8080, 8443 } snat $ROUTER however, if the routing table allows to reach your $IP_SERVER from $NET_PRIVATE, then you do not need this NAT rule. > # masquerade private IP addresses > ip saddr $NET_PRIVATE oifname $DEV_WORLD masquerade > } > } > ==== end ==== > >
