Port Forwarding To An Internal Web Server

This is an example of how you can port forward a port to an internal machine. In this case, we are port forwarding from the firewall to an Apache web server located on IP 192.168.0.10, with both HTTP and HTTPS services.

• eth0: Internet facing interface
• eth1: LAN facing interface
• Dynamic IPv4 address from ISP on eth0
• Internal LAN machines are on private subnet mask 192.168.0.0/24
• Web server is on 192.168.0.10 with ports 80 and 443 already open
• A second web server is on 192.168.0.11, which needs to have its port 80 available on 8080 externally

Config: etc/srfirewall/ipv4/portfw.conf

portfw.conf

# <port> <protocol> <internal IP> <internal port> <external interface>
80 tcp 192.168.0.10 80 eth0
443 tcp 192.168.0.10 443 eth0
8080 tcp 192.168.0.11 80 eth0
