Iptables Forwarding

Posted on February 20, 2017

I have a PPTP VPN server running Ubuntu 14.04 It has multiple clients connected to it e.i. Client A -> 192.168.1.210 Client B -> 192.168.1.211 Client C -> 192.168.1.212

It also has multiple external iP address on the same interface i.e.

eth0 -> XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX eth0:0 -> YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY eth0:1 -> ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZ

I want to be able to forward all traffic both udp and tcp traffic coming in on XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX to Client A i.e.

XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -> ClientA YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY -> ClientB ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZZ -> ClientC

I know this should be possible with iptables but not sure how to do it.

I’ve tried: iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.210
