I have 2 kinds of proxies in my local machine : stunnel and TOR-VPN.
I want to get web traffic to go to stunnel first and the output traffic of stunnel go to tor-vpn. This needs double redirecting. is it possible to do it with iptables? I mean by using "table nat chain OUTPUT".
Because as far as I know "table nat chain OUTPUT" cant be called twice.
web traffic = browser listening on 127.0.0.1:6666
these are my rules:
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -j REDIRECT --to-ports 6666
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m owner --uid-owner bob -m tcp -j REDIRECT --to-ports 9040
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p udp -m owner --uid-owner bob -m udp --dport 53 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 53
iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 6666 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m owner --uid-owner bob -m tcp --dport 9040 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT -p udp -m owner --uid-owner bob -m udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner bob -j DROP
the above rules make stunnel work independently from TOR/VPN. i mean when browser is set with proxy, no traffic will go through TOR/VPN but if i turn off the proxy in browser, all traffic will go through TOR/VPN.
now i want to let browser have the proxy on and all web traffic go to stunnel first, but outgoing stunnel traffic(outgoing loopback traffic) redirects to TOR/VPN(127.0.0.1:9040)
is it possible ? how can i do that? somehow i mean double redirecting inside system.
Policy of all tables is ACCEPT
I found the answer by myself. in my first post, i said something that was completely wrong and because of that, i could not do double redirecting. i said:
Because as far as I know "table nat chain OUTPUT" cant be called twice
it is wrong and "table nat chain OUTPUT" can be called twice. i dont know what exactly i did 2 months ago that thought "table nat chain OUTPUT" cant be called twice.
this is the tables and chains order when using some services on loopback interface or not:
Without having any services on loopback:
Generated packets on local machine -> nat(OUTPUT) -> filter(OUTPUT) -> wlan(ethernet) interface
With having some services on loopback:
Generated packets on local machine -> nat(OUTPUT) -> filter(OUTPUT) -> loopback interface -> nat(OUTPUT) -> filter(OUTPUT) -> wlan(ethernet) interface
these are my rules to solve the problem:
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 6666 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 6666
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m owner --uid-owner bob -m tcp -j REDIRECT --to-ports 9040
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p udp -m owner --uid-owner bob -m udp --dport 53 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 53
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d "StunnelServerIp" -o wlan0 -p tcp -j REDIRECT --to-ports 9040
iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m owner --uid-owner bob -m tcp --dport 9040 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT -p udp -m owner --uid-owner bob -m udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 6666 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner bob -j DROP
