Iptables REDIRECT + openvpn problem
- by Emilio
I want to redirect connection to port 22 to my openvpn binded port, on 60001.
Openvpn is running on server on 60001
server:~$ sudo netstat -apn | grep openvpn
udp 0 0 67.xx.xx.137:60001 0.0.0.0:* 4301/openvpn
I redirect on server port 22 to 60001
server:~$ sudo iptables -F -t nat
server:~$ sudo iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p udp --dport 22 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 60001
I start openvpn client (openvpn.conf is correct, it works with remote IP 22 replaced with remote IP 60001)
client:~$ ./openvpn openvpn.conf

It doesn't connect. iptables shows requests from client to server but no answers. What's wrong with it?
