Port-Forwarding in OpenWRT

By knau9ht

Port forwarding can be enabled in OpenWRT by editing the firewall config file /etc/firewall.config.

forward:dport=5022:192.168.1.106:22

This is a typical entry in the firewall config implying that incoming connections from the WAN on port 5022 will be forwarded to port 22 on the machine 192.168.1.106.

Note:

The above method works on Kamikaze. For White Russian, check out the comment below.

    Cheers, very helpful. Shame the default web interface for White Russian does not have this option.

    The above rule does not work on White Russian (0.9)

    Try:
    iptables -t nat -A prerouting_wan -p tcp –dport 8080 -j DNAT –to 192.168.1.2:80
    iptables -A forwarding_wan -p tcp –dport 80 -d 192.168.1.2 -j ACCEPT
