#7 it would be nice if linux-igd worked for the localhost too
Forwarded on behalf of a Debian user (
Normally, linux-igd works justs fine for hosts other than my router. A service on the localhost tried to forward a
port to itself. It detected its internal IP address just fine and asked linux-igd to set up a forwarding. linux-igd
did that, but it put the rule into the FORWARD chain, where the packets never get. Since the DNAT rule sends the
packets to the internal IP on the localhost, they get to the INPUT chain.
So I would like to request the following feature: when a forwarding is requested for a local IP address, the ACCEPT
rule should be created in the INPUT chain, not the forward chain. The DNAT rule in the PREROUTING chain should
behave the same way as it does now.
