Thus, I can't Forward all incoming connections to other address? I blocked all incoming connections but how can I forward it?
Scanning means that when a person want to scan my IP with some tools like Nmap, All Nmap requests forward to other IP.
I would say first you need to nat ssh (port 22) to localhost and after that everything can be forwarded to another host. But probably there is another solution too.
And also you can also use another port for ssh.
If you are behind a router, and you a getting traffic forwarded directly to your computer then you should re-enable the firewall in the router, and clean your traffic there.
Though; It sounds like your computer is directly connected to the internet without a router, I would first suggest getting a DD-WRT, Onion Router, or PFSense Router running and controlling your internet before forwarding any traffic.
NAT is what you want if you want to forward traffic, but if its a scan of your ports, then DD-WRT, and PFSense would be excellent solution's to this since they will detect and stop replying to a scan request.
If you are trying to forward local traffic on a server with dual connections and you want to pass the traffic from one to the other, then you need to setup the server as a pass-through device, or a forwarding device, almost like a switch.

Reason: Spelling. Paragraph arrangement.
