One to One port range forwarding to different port range using IPTABLE?

+1 vote
395 views

After testing and looking at the kernel source, I realize that this mapping:

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 30000:40000 -j DNAT --to [local_ip]:10000-2000

Doesn't do a one-to-one port mapping
e.g.:

100.0.0.1:30000 > 192.168.0.5:10000
100.0.0.1.30001 > 192.168.0.5:10001
100.0.0.1.30002 > 192.168.0.5:10002

I was wondering if it was possible to do the 1:1 port range forwarding to different port ranges or if you have to use individual rules.

Disabling an IP using IPTABLE

I am trying to do the following -
1. script_1 which can be executed to at the start to enable all IPs.
2. Whenever we want to block an IP we should call script_2 to block the IP.
3. Whenever we want to unblock an IP we should call script_3 to unblock.
4. script_4 to take the snapshot of the IPtable.

IPTable: How to forward http traffic to two IPs

I want to forward all http traffic coming in from a perticular IP at local port 8080, to 2 particular IP Addresses (port 80). Is it enough to prepend the following in my IPtable

-A PREROUTING -s xx.xx.xx.xx/24 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j DNAT --to-destination xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80
-A PREROUTING -s xx.xx.xx.xx/24 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j DNAT --to-destination yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:80

Round-Robin new http connections to different ports using IPTABLE

I have a situation where I want to round-robin new http connections to different ports, but i'm finding that the following is resulting in a significant amount "falling through" to my catch-all on port 9000, rather than being evenly distributed across 8080-8084.

iptables -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m statistic --mode nth --every 5 --packet 0 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m statistic --mode nth --every 5 --packet 1 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8081
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m statistic --mode nth --every 5 --packet 2 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8082
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m statistic --mode nth --every 5 --packet 3 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8083
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m statistic --mode nth --every 5 --packet 4 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8084
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 9000

it's about 80-20, where 80% are evenly distributed amongst 8080-8084 and 20% are winding up on 9000.

I'd prefer 100% evenly distributed on 8080-8084 and none on 9000. I put 9000 there as a catch-all "hack" because i found connections were failing to be caught by the 8080-8084 range.

IPTABLE: byte counters counts 14 bytes less?

I am trying to use byte counters to know how much total data is transferred from an IP. However, simple test with ping shows that it counts 14 bytes less, probably ignoring later 2 header.

Is my understanding correct or am I missing something in this?

Can IPtable check for a valid IP address?

We suffer from DNS lookups with a response IP address which is not existing. Can Iptables check on this?
