Title: Port Forwarding Source IP Restricting
Post by: ztasevski on January 04, 2005, 08:11:18 AM

Hi,

I have setup up a port forwarding rule on an SME server for port 6161 to be forwarded to an internal server's SSH port,using the "port forwarding" module in the sme manager.

By viewing the iptables rules anyone can connect to the external server's 6161 and be forwarded to the internal server's SSH port.

Just wondering how can access to port 6161 be restricted to a specific external IP ?

hi ravenIV,

what is the best way of adding the iptables rule ?

is there a specific file that needs to be edited in /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq/??? directory and then expanded through the templates-custom directory ?
