Port forwarding

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 29 Dec 2005

Q:
Can BorderManager 3.7 do port forwarding? If so, how?

A:
Yes. You must use Generic TCP or UDP Proxy and configure these things:
1. Generic Proxy
2. Filter exceptions allowing traffic to/from the proxy (public) side
3. Access rule allowing the generic proxy port

People usually forget number 3 above, and often number 2. Test with access rules not enforced and filters unloaded the first time.
