route traffic of all connected wireless clients to one particular IP and port












-1















I've successfully set up access point on my server using wifi-ap snap



wakatana@server:~$ sudo wifi-ap.config get
debug: false
dhcp.lease-time: 12h
dhcp.range-start: 10.0.60.2
dhcp.range-stop: 10.0.60.199
disabled: false
share.disabled: false
share.network-interface: eth0
wifi.address: 10.0.60.1
wifi.channel: 6
wifi.country-code:
wifi.hostapd-driver: nl80211
wifi.interface: wlan0
wifi.interface-mode: direct
wifi.netmask: 255.255.255.0
wifi.operation-mode: g
wifi.security: wpa2
wifi.security-passphrase: passwordpassword
wifi.ssid: Ubuntu


Now I would like to route all traffic from connected clients to one particular IP_ADDRESS:PORT (at the time it is the same machine as AP runs on). It should work like if client goes e.g. to www.google.sk it will be redirected to 127.0.0.1:555



If I understand correctly there are at least two possible solutions for this but I do not know how to make it work in practice:




  1. dnsmasq + nginx - I've never did that before so it seems over complicated to me and I do not know if it wont broke my current DNS

  2. iptables - here I have basic iptables experiences but I'm lost in PREROUING, POSTROUTING, DNAT, SNAT etc.

  • Please detail what you have done until now. The question is overly broad, and denotes a lack of effort, there are many questions in our group how to intercept traffic using iptables. Please see our faq.
