Hello,
I would like to create a proxy server without using 3rd party applications, so how can I accomplish that is it possible to do that via iptables ?
I tried the following rule and it didn't work
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br-lan -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.1:3128
When I go and set proxy IP and port on my laptop the proxy doesn't work
I need internet to work on port 3128 how can I do that ?
Thanks

If you want to use a proxy in browser, you need to install a proxy application, port forward works only as a dumb port forward, it is not a proxy. Proxy needs a bit of intelligence, because it needs to accepts commands like http connect etc.

I think we need more information about what are you trying to accomplish with this.

I am trying to port forward because I need internet connection on another port

Sorry, but I still do not understand what you are trying to do or why...

It's not possible. iptables are not a http proxy server. You need a http proxy server (in transparent mode) running in 3128 port to make that rule work. OpenWRT support several http proxys easily, like squid.

If the problem is that your internet connection block port 80 outgoing connections then you need run the http proxy in a internet server, out of the router. You can't use another port for http internet connections without a external http proxy server.

Right, he should rather tell us what he is trying to do.

Thank you all for helping me, I solved my problem by adding a new router and using it as a gateway instead a proxy server
