Hello,

I'm trying to create a custom proxy program but I have a problem.

My program connects to a fixed port from a random port and I need to tunnel all this traffic by my local proxy.

I think the solution is using iptables, but all the topics I found are related to redirect incoming connections, not outbounds.

How can I redirect all the traffic from a local port to another local port and later to the internet?

Thanks,
