RE: FAQ for ipchains?

[wim@netmaster.ca]

I just figured port forwading out.  It is different than 2.0.x. I read some of
the HOWTOs and FAQs, but they were either out of date or made no sense.

Once you have the right modules set up in the kernel, it is pretty straight
forward.  Because I am on a ppp connection and have a different IP all the
time, I run it every day. I haven't figured out how make a script that will do
it for me with my new ip.

First I run:
$ ipmasqadm portfw -f
to flush the old rules, then:

$ ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 204.244.142.78 8080 -R 192.168.1.50 80
to forward from my ppp ip port 8080 to the internal ip port 80.  If you change
the '8080' to 80, then a browser doesn't have have to specify :8080 when
surfing to your site.

Hope this helps,
Wim.
