Actually I should be able to do some mapping using the firewall so that port 80 is forwarded to 1080.
This does seem more natural but there are the issues now that there are some existing links.
I also notice that there is a conjoint.com whose business is overlapping my own interests (if not business). This may not be good for either of us.
What if they wanted this domain and I wanted to rename? How would I go about this?
It does seem to be an issue. I guess I could retain this and simply put up a notice.
In the case of moving from 1080 to 80 I would set up a redirect. Yes that would work.
Similarly for changing the name.
Here are some rules.
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o lo -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
What irritates me a bit is that there would have to be some experimentation to get this right.
Not just in this rule but in the other rules I need for my lan. They should work by opening up ssl and so on, but ...
And what else do I need to open up? AFS would be another and FISH I expect yet another. This is the LAN.
What about the WAN?
Bit of a bother.
Finally I got this working. Needs rewrite. But here is the interesting thing. I am not allowed to request a non existent page which normally would result in the creation of a new page in the style of this wiki. Instead I get a 404. I'm sure that is just over public internet, so firewall?
