ssh and iptables

[cpa]

Hi,

I'd like to use ssh as a proxy/socks server and redirect all connections through this proxy.

It would look like :
ssh -D 123 -N host
iptables ...

I've never used iptables before and I did not manage to find any useful for this particular case solutions on the internet.

So, what's the good way to do that ?

This is the correct syntax:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport $srcPortNumber -j REDIRECT --to-ports $dstPortNumbe

This will redirect all traffic from port 80 to port 4444

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 4444

Hope this gives you a idea.
