iptables
|access-point
I am trying to create a Software Access Point in linux.
I followed the blog here.
Steps I performed:
- Started dhcp server on wlan0.
- Properly configured hostapd.conf
- Enabled packet forwarding & masquerading.
Two commands executed regarding iptables:
iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface eth0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface wlan0 -j ACCEPT
I enabled logging on iptables & I get this in everything.log

I have almost no knowledge of iptables, all I did was through googling. So, can anyone help me in making me understand what wrong is happening here?
I have tried running tcpdump on wlan0 & http packets are being sent from wlan0.
