 Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2008 10:57 pm Post subject: Port Forwarding |
 |
|
Alright, I've got a pretty basic router setup running ETH00 is my Gateway and ETH01 is connected to the internet.
All I need to do is get some ports open for BitTorrent and a few other applications.
Virtual Server doesn't seem to be working and I can't figure out the firewall options.
Can anybody give me a hand or point me in the right direction? |

Virtual server actually works. Try to disable firewall completely and give it a try.

The simpliest way is to set "Policy" to "ACCEPT" under these chains: INPUT, FORWARD and OUTPUT. I believe you didn't create custom chains. Also if there are any DROP rules within these chains, uncheck them under "Active" column.
BitTorrent uses a range of ports, so it is not easy to add many rules via [Router] -> [Virtual Server]. Instead I'd suggest you to add single iptables command to startup sequence via menu [Setup] -> [Startup/Cron] -> [NAT and Virtual Servers]:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i ETH01 --destination-port 6881-6999 -j DNAT --to-destination=you.local.ip.address
