http://serverfault.com – Is there a way to direct all the traffic of my machine through a VPS. I have set ssh forwarding for accessing Facebook in our office from a browser. Can this setup can be used to forward all traffic in my machine through that VPS. apt-get update and apt-get install should go through this tunnel. ssh -D 7894 ip-address-of-vps after that in the proxysetting of browser i specified localhost and 7894. Can a simmilar set up can be followed to redirect all traffic through that VPS. (HowTos)

Stories similar to Redirect Network Traffic from local machine to a VPS

Is it possible to redirect incoming traffic on a specific port of my Ubuntu Linux server machine to another server (that has another public IP address and is located at another site)? I'm running a gameserver on the other server but I want people to be able to connect to the old IP address. Could this be done with some kind of NAT/PAT combined with VPN, perhaps?

Thanks for answering.

I've recently read a Microsoft Technet article on how Windows Firewall works. The author of the article uses concepts like 'solicited network traffic' and 'unsolicited network traffic' for a machine.

My server has recieved sudden increase in the (read) web traffic, requesting many map image tiles, and apache cannot handle it.

Apache cannot even handle the redirections!

Is there a way to redirect traffic set to go out of the server to another IP, back to the server on localhost (preferably as if it was coming from the original destination)?

I'd basically like to be able to set up my own software that listens on say, port 80, and receives traffic that was sent to say, 1.2.3.4

How do I use iptables to reject all traffic to localhost port 80 but allow the one that comes from local machine?

Here is my current solution that doesn't seems to block the traffic. the ip, the the ip of the local machine.

Please note, I'm not talking about TCP or UDP traffic. Rather IP traffic with the protocol ids of 50 and 51.

The point of this being that I can then pass IPsec traffic thru to the internal machine where it would act as the VPN terminator.

I am running a linux machine between two IP Phones with Two NIC card's.

All of the traffic passing through between eth0 and eth1 should move through TCP/IP stack.

Currently,IP-forwarding is enabled in linux and traffic routes directly at Kernel level. If I am doing port forwarding using IPtables, I can get the traffic in TCP/IP stack but I dont want to perform port forwarding.

DNS traffic 22 weeks 2 days ago

Hi All,

I have just started learning Lunix; I hope you can help me to block unwanted DNS traffic.

I have big spikes of traffic few times a day. The duration is from few minutes to two hours.

Incoming traffic is 1 mbps, outgoing is 3mbps

Using my friend's script I was able to get some logs.

I am trying to setup snort to act as an ids, on a debian machine that also functions as a router. Ideally I would like to setup snort in such a way so that I would not have to purchase an additional network adapter just to have it listen to the same traffic that the debian machine is already handling.
