<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello,<br><br>Regarding that IPtables line that is mentioned in the manpage - what is the redirected port? <br><br>
/sbin/iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport <redirected_port> \
-i eth0 -j DNAT --to-destination <local_ip>:<stunnel_port><br><br></div>I am using the stunnel configuration I posted in the first email, and I want traffic on the stunnel server to end up at localhost:9040 so I think I would use that as the --to-destination, but I am unsure what to put in the --dport. Is that going to be any port that I may be connecting to transparently (i.e. if I am using this as a web browser, would it be 80, 8000, 8080, etc?)<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 23, 2014 at 12:13 PM, Derek Cole <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:derek.cole@gmail.com" target="_blank">derek.cole@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks for the reply.

<p dir="ltr">You will need a proxy software on your server as the endpoint. (For e.g. squid)</p>
