IPv4 forwarding

Host ports < 1024 as normal user and use iptables firewall to forward between localhost and public IP.

/usr/sbin/iptables -F # flush all rules
/usr/sbin/iptables -t nat -F # flush all nat rules
/usr/sbin/iptables -X # Clear user defined chains
/usr/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 127.0.0.1:8080
/usr/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE
/usr/sbin/iptables -t nat -L -v

/etc/sysctl.conf:

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.route_localnet = 1

/sbin/sysctl -p
