Accessing An External VPN Server from NAT'd Network

dmarien · 06-03-2003, 08:35 PM

Hey.

My dad want's to connect to his VPN server at Work, from his Dell on my Linux NAT'd network.

It doesn't work though.

So, I'm assuming I need to forward ports, and whatnot.

Can someone please tell me what I need to forward, and the command req'd to do so?

well, to forward ports in iptables you would use DNAT:

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT -to 192.168.1.100

this example says: any incomming bound for port 80, send it to private ip 192.168.1.100. ..... oh, protocol = tcp.
