NAT via /etc/sysconfig/iptables
 

Hello listmates,

It's been a few years since I've set up a router... and for some
reason I seem to be getting hung up on this one.

Does anybody have a sample iptables config file that would incorporate
NAT and forwarding for a simple router?

Thanks.

Boris.

Turn on ip frwding in sysctl.conf:
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

Then rules something like this (Tune for your needs):
# Accept packets belonging to established and related connections
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
# Setup masquerading on WAN interface & forward specified requests
/sbin/iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o $WAN -j MASQUERADE
/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -i $LAN -o $WAN -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -p tcp -m multiport --dports 80,443 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -i $WAN -o $LAN -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

I found project quicktables very helpful
