| Q. How can I get my open ports to survive a reboot on debian?
|
|
A. Create a new file named /etc/init.d/local with the following content:
iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.2:80
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport 80 -i eth0 -j ACCEPT
Then, make the file executable:
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/local
Add it to startup:
update-rc.d local defaults 80
The above example is forwarding all http on port 80. |
