Turn on IP Forwarding in Linux

Posted on August 20, 2013 by

By default for security reasons IP forwarding is turned off.  If you are setting up a router or a vpn gateway you will need to turn it back on.  You can just run the following command to turn it on.

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