Hi guys,

thanks to Luis Miguel Silva`s help (iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -s insert.vserver.ip -d 0/0 -j SNAT --to insert.internet.ip) I can now access the internet from within a vserver - BUT I cannot access the vserver(s) from outside the host-computer. The host IP and the IPs of the vservers are in the same IP-range (192.168.x.y). Does anyone know how to access the different services (ssh, apache, ...) on a vserver from the outside? What things have to be set up/installed?

Thanks,

Hi,

You have to DNAT on your firewall to the address of your vserver :

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i <external (Internet) interface of your firewall> -s 0/0 -d <external FW IP> --dport <port you want to use to access the service> -j DNAT --to-destination <IP address of the vserver>:<port you want to access on the vserver>

Note that this is not a vserver issue. It's a routage/Firewalling problem and can be applied even if the server is not running a vserver.
