I have a client with a firewall device that has a limited interface to
iptables (I cannot ssh into it either). All you can do is forward a port
to another IP address, you can't restrict it to a certain source IP.
I have set it up to forward port 22 to my Linux box, that then has
IPTables to accept anything local and drop everything else except my
ADSL modem IP.
Now I want to do a similar thing except forward the packets to another
internal host. I have no idea where to start and what rules to use. The
setup is:
_____________________
| (firewall device) | |---> |192.168.1.50|
internet <----> |ext_ip 192.168.1.254| <---|---> |192.168.1.1 |
|_____________________| |---> |192.168.1.x |
I want the Linux box (192.168.1.1) to forward port x to 192.168.1.50,
but only if the source is my ADSL modem IP.
Do I use the NAT and PREROUTING, POSTROUTING, FORWARD? I have examples
from the Internet if the Linux box and the host it is forwarding to are
on different networks but not when they are on the same network.
