Topic: Port Foward Contrib?

[cattledog]

Hi...Is there a better Port Forward Contrib for sme8 than the one installed?

Cheers in advance

[Stefano]

Please describe your problem and not your solution, thank you

[cattledog]

I am really hopeless at filling in iptable to unblock ports...I tried this but Edit /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid/squid.conf/20ACL15Safe_ports with whichever text editor you feel comfortable with (vi or pico) and add whatever ports you wish to allow, to the end of the line of text. But was not sure if it meant after the text or the brackets
{
    my @ports = split(",", ($squid{SafePorts} || "80") );

    return "acl Safe_ports port @ports";Here
}Here

Cheers...oh and my modem is bridged and open all ports directed to sme server...what I am try to do is open ports for steam for son

I guess yuor SME is in server & gateway mode

are you trying to "open" inbound ports (i.e. from outside to your lan) or to permit outgoing traffic?
do you really need a http proxy?

in any case, you don't need to edit that fragment

Code: [Select]

config show squid

will give you the SafePorts list.. if you need to add

Code: [Select]

config setprop squid SafePorts port_list
signal-event proxy-update

port_list must be in the right syntax

Refer
http://www.resoo.org/docs/counterstrike/steam_ports.html

You use the Port Forwarding panel (which does the dual job of forwarding & opening ports) & follow the guide above
You can select TCP & UDP
Forward the ports to the same ports on the IP of the workstation your son is using

This is really applicable where your sme server is in gateway & server mode

You should not need to be adjusting squid.

Also see this
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:FAQ:Section05

You mention bridged modem & open all ports directed to sme.
In bridged mode you should not need to open or forward ports in your modem, bridged mode means pass through all data without interference.
Maybe take another look at your modem configuration to ensure it really is in bridged mode (which essentially disables all other settings in the modem as they are not needed).

What mode is your sme server in, gateway & server, or server only ?
What other equipment is in front of your sme server between sme & the Internet ADSL or whichever connection ?
Are you setting up a steam client or a steam server ?
What equipment is behind sme server for this, a workstation or maybe another sme server ?

Have you searched this forum site on
steam
and
counter strike
