Hi
Thanks for your response. I am able to get the traffic redirected to my proxy server port. But the whole behavior is as if the tproxy kernel patch is not applied. In other words, on the web server I see that the request is coming from my proxy server and not from the client. The client IP is not getting rewritten after the socket options are applied.

Also, I am observing that if I set the "itp.v.addr.fport" to 0, the proxy server doesnt even get the request from the client.(Here itp is a variable of type struct in_tproxy). So I had to assign the fport to a valid non-zero number.

Any help is much appreciated.

thanks again,
Jojy

Hello,

For instance a client try to connect to a webserver somewhere on the Internet
listening on port 80, and your proxy is listening on port 50080. The iptables
rule that redirects packets to that port is the following:

    iptables -t tproxy -p tcp --dport 80 -j TPROXY --on-port 50080

The next one is to allow incomming traffic on that port. Because the TPROXY
target marks the packet, the following rule accepts these packets:

    iptables -t filter -A INPUT -m tproxy -j ACCEPT
