I am trying to set up a forward from one machine to another on a remote network across the Internet. I want to receive requests on one box on port 8080 and simply forward them to a remote machine on the same port. I have tried the following rules, to no avail. I have IPFIREWALL_FORWARD in my kernel (4.10), and # ipfw show reports the hits to the rule. # ipfw add 1000 fwd 216.209.x.x tcp from any to me 8080 # ipfw add 1000 fwd 216.209.x.x,8080 tcp from any to me 8080 # ipfw add 1000 fwd 216.209.x.x tcp from any to me 8080 # ipfw add 1000 fwd 216.209.x.x,8080 from any to any 8080 I can not see the packets going back out of the machine, nor does ipfw log anything at the other end. # tcpdump at the remote end does not pick up any traffic. Does this have something to do with the fact that I am going across the Internet, and it is trying to route the packets back to itself (I understand the dest does not get changed). If so, how could I re-write the packets so they will get delivered? Tks for any help on this Steve
