Firewall Question

rjneeley · 06-16-2004, 09:26 PM

Hello All,

I have a quick question.

I am running Gentoo Linux and RC (iptables) firewall on our network at work. We are hosting a website that is now behind the firewall and can not be moved anytime soon (the network was poorly setup by the people before me).

I need to know how I can open up this one IP addess to the world? On a side note, This is also behind a VPN so we are using the
PORT_FORWARDS command to send the external IP to the internal IP.

Thank you for any help you can provide!!!!!!

You need to forward port 80/TCP on the external IP to the internal IP of the webserver. Your firewall should be configured to pass packets in states ESTABLISHED and/or RELATED.
