Set up Network Address Translation

To set up NAT (network address translation), open a console and

• allow IP traffic forwarding

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

• tell the kernel to forward traffic to the outgoing interface eth0 and masquerade it, so it will put its own IP address into each packet's header:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
