Q: can I forward IPs without Server.app?
I want to forward a local IP range (the gateway that a virtual machine uses, Parallels Desktop 8 with host-only networking) to an IP (that a VPN connection of mine uses). By the time I figured out how it should (?) work using the modern tools of recent macs, I ran into an error suggesting that the feature might be missing from the non-server version of the latest update.
Shouldn't the following work?
sudo pfctl -v -T add 10.37.129.0 192.168.1.84 If it should, is the following error suggesting that this (NAT, IP forwarding) requires Server.app now?! It sounds silly to pay $20 for this single feature, no real server use. (Simple Googling did not yield a definitive answer on this though.)
No ALTQ support in kernel ALTQ related functions disabled Btw, I hope the IP I see on the Networks Preference Pane (once connected) is the local address of the VPN connection, not the address I received on the remote network. Please let me know if the IP forwarding should not work, esp. you have a superior solution.
