Re: [Gnump3d-users] Is port 80 a security issue when root?

[Marty Huntzberry]

ok, this works for me. I have eth0 and stream on port 8001, so I use this:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p TCP -i eth0 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 
8001

I used nmap from a networked pc and saw that port 80 was open (not port 8001, 
though) with nmap 192.168.1.44.
My friend out of my network tried my site and told me that he can only connect 
through port 8001. I'm
thinking my router (Westell 327W) is blocking port 80 outside my network...my 
router is set to allow HTTP TCP
communication on port 80 and it's firewall is disabled.

I could customize the firewall rules for my NAT router.

Any ideas?
