I have a local web server on 12345 port(can't change) and I want to forward port it from lo via iptables in command line. Forwarding is allowed.

`iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i lo -p tcp --dport 8080 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.2.15:12:125`

. No errors, but when I log in from the browser (127.0.0.1:8080) does not work. When I go to the ip server (10.0.2.15:12345) everything works fine. What am I doing wrong?

Sorry, if there are many mistakes in the text, it was translated from Ukrainian using Google Translate.

Scenario:

Web Server IP = 10.0.2.15 (eth0)
Hardcoded Listening Port = 12345/TCP
TCP Forward = from 10.0.2.15:8080 to 127.0.0.1:12345

Port forwarding from a standard NIC (eth0) to a loopback interface (lo) is disabled by default. Remove the previous iptables rules and execute the following:

# Forward any traffic destined to TCP 8080 on eth0 to 12345 on loopback
$ sudo iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 8080 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1:12345
# Then allow forwarding from standard NIC to loopback (assuming eth0 is the standard NIC)
$ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth0.route_localnet=1

  • I fixed the error But nothing has changed. I entered your command. `` No chain / target / match by that name. `` What does this mean? – BBapps 1posn Oct 17 '20 at 17:01

  • You misunderstood me. Web Server IP = 10.0.2.15 (usbnet0 -local) TCP Forward = from 10.0.2.15:12345 to 127.0.0.1:8080 My web-server on local ip – BBapps 1posn Oct 18 '20 at 7:16
