SSH to Vmware virtual machine with NAT network [duplicate]
right now I am able to ssh to host over internet and ssh from host to the virtual machine. What I want to do is ssh directly to the Guest machine from outside.
I tried to do this using iptables:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -m tcp -p tcp --dport 2222 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.130.128:22
And also opened this related ports on UFW:
ufw allow routed
ufw allow outgoing
ufw deny incoming
ufw allow 2222/tcp
After reloading firewalls, remote ssh will freeze on debug1: Connecting to x.x.x.x [x.x.x.x] port 2222 and using tcpdump -i vmnet8 'port 22' I can see this:
listening on vmnet8, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes

tcpdump on my MacOS guest will result the same.

Update:
This is ufw log message (log high):

And I used this commands to get dropped packets logs:
iptables -N LOGGING
iptables -A INPUT -j LOGGING
iptables -A OUTPUT -j LOGGING
iptables -A LOGGING -m limit --limit 2/min -j LOG --log-prefix "IPT Drops: " --log-level 4
iptables -A LOGGING -j DROP
But I couldn't trace any dropped package.
Update 2:
iptables config as some friends asked for:

And ufw status numbered:
Status: active
To Action From
-- ------ ----
[ 1] 22022/tcp ALLOW IN Anywhere
[ 2] 2222/tcp ALLOW IN Anywhere
-> Jump to the update
As mentioned in the man ufw found here I would change the appearance of rule 4 to come before rule 3.
Rule ordering is important and the first match wins. Therefore when adding rules, add the more specific rules first with more general rules later.
First allow incomming tcp on 2222, and route to 192.168.130.128:22
Then deny all incoming.
Don't know if its important, but in the man page the routing rule looks
ufw route allow 2222/tcp to 192.168.130.128 port 22
Update
Short version
You told iptables to add a PREROUTING rule to your nat table.
The missing part is:
#---------------------------------------------------------------
# After DNAT, the packets are routed via the filter table's
# FORWARD chain.
# Connections on port 22 to the target machine on the private
# network must be allowed.
#---------------------------------------------------------------
# The `\` masks the `linebreak` in the `bash command`
# You can `copy & paste` all the lines at once
# From the manual
# Changing to specific IP and Interfaces
# being:
# `eth0` your host adapter and
# `vmnet8` your guest adapter
This is the connection into the target machine:
iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -i eth0 -o vmnet8 -d 192.168.130.128 \
--dport 22 --sport 2222 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
And these are the filter from host interface to your guest interface
and vice versa.
iptables -A FORWARD -t filter -o eth0 -m state \
--state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -t filter -i vmnet8 -m state \
--state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
Remark
First, I would get familiar with saving and reloading iptables.
Then I would change option -A to -I. This will put the rules into first position.
And I would think about changing -A to -C, because iptables will prompt for eventually missing parameter.
At least I would -Z zero the counter of all rules and see what happens after implementing new rules.
You asked for all of this as a ufw manual. But if we fix your issue with the back-end then ufw front-end will be easy.
