How do you make this change permanent..??? Even tought I did this as a root I still get an error related to NAT while testing the port in the Azureus Config. Wizard. How do you chek if the port is really open..??? Thank you very much. |
To make iptables changes persistant on a Redhat system do: service iptables save
To check if the port is indeed open, do a port scan from outside the LAN or just use one of the free online portscans from sygate or grc.com. Also make sure that the torrent app is up with netstat -pantu The above iptables rule applies only to a non-NAT stand-alone system. If you are behind a nat firewall, you need to forward the azureus ports to the internal box (IP x.x.x.x), like this: Code:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i <external_interface> -p tcp --dport 6881 -j DNAT --to-destination x.x.x.x |
