Question
How to redirect plain HTTP request to Versa Director to HTTPS automatically?
Solution
This is achieved by adding these two entries in /etc/rc.local file:
iptables-t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080 iptables-t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080
NOTE: sudo permission is required to edit the file.
Sample Config File (/etc/rc.local)
#!/bin/sh-e # #rc.local # # Thisscript is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # Makesure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other # valueon error. # # Inorder to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits. # # Bydefault this script does nothing. iptables-t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8443 iptables-t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8443 ip6tables-t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8443 ip6tables-t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -d ::1 --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8443 iptables-t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080 iptables-t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080 ==================================================================
