Ubuntu – IPtables – redirect port to different IP

Ubuntu – IPtables – redirect port to different IP

Read IP tables;

iptables -t nat -L -n -v

For redirecting port to different IP and port

echo “1” > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Then, we will add a rule telling to forward the traffic on port 1111 to ip 2.2.2.2 on port 1111:

# iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp –dport 1111 -j DNAT –to-destination 2.2.2.2:1111

and finally, we ask IPtables to masquerade:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE

Remove the rule by using -D instead of -A
