UFW : IP Masquerade2022/10/06

 
This is how to configure IP Masquerading on UFW.
This example is based on the environment like follows.
          Internet
-------------+-------------
      Gateway|192.168.0.1
             |
External     |
       enp1s0|192.168.0.30
+------------+------------+
|                         |
|      dlp.srv.world      |
|                         |
+------------+------------+
       enp7s0|10.0.0.30
Internal     |
             |

[1] Enable Forward policy first.
root@dlp:~#
vi /etc/default/ufw
# line 19 : change

DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY="
ACCEPT
"
root@dlp:~#
vi /etc/sysctl.conf
# line 28 : uncomment

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
# reload settings

root@dlp:~#
sysctl -p

root@dlp:~#
ufw reload

[2] In addition to the UFW default setting, add rules that computers in Internal network can connect to external network or internet via [10.0.0.30] as a gateway.
root@dlp:~#
ufw status verbose

Status: active
Logging: on (low)
Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing), allow (routed)
New profiles: skip

root@dlp:~#
vi /etc/ufw/before.rules
.....
.....
# don't delete the 'COMMIT' line or these rules won't be processed
COMMIT

# add to the end
# NAT
*nat
-F
:POSTROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
-A POSTROUTING -s 10.0.0.0/24 -o enp1s0 -j MASQUERADE

COMMIT

root@dlp:~#
ufw reload

[3] In addition to the setting of [2] above, add rules like follows.
* requests to [enp1s0] with 22 or 80 port destination on External side are forwarded to the Host [10.0.0.51] with the same port on Internal side
* requests to [enp1s0] with 3306 port destination on External side are forwarded to the Host [10.0.0.52] with the same port on Internal side
root@dlp:~#
