Firewall configuration

iptables masquerading

First enable IPv4 packet forwarding by editing /etc/sysctl.conf, uncomment (or add) the following line:

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

Then add the following lines to /etc/rc.local (so the rule is enabled on reboot):

Ext_IF="eth0"
Int_IF="eth3"
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/16 -o $Ext_IF -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.0/16 -o $Ext_IF -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -d 192.168.1.0/16 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -i $Int_IF -j ACCEPT

Forwarding

# forward ssh to workstation with the internal ip 192.168.1.2
Int_IP="192.168.1.2"
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp -i $Ext_IF --dport 22 -j DNAT --to-destination $Int_IP:22
iptables -A FORWARD -i $Ext_IF -o $Int_IF -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
