For anyone reading in the future, I ended up using nftables to redirect the traffic as described in this guide https://jensd.be/1086/linux/forward-a-tcp-port-to-another-ip-or-port-using-nat-with-nftables . Iptables works too but nftables seems easier for adding rules in the future. Works perfectly with http/https traffic and Minecraft TCP traffic too - cheers Eigenvektor for pointing me in the right direction.

I'd love to get more into cloud stuff more for sure, but my homelab has spiraled out of control over lockdown and I've now got several hundered gigs of locally stored stuff and a dozen VMs, which would make it pretty costly in the cloud. Plus, running the hardware myself is half the fun. What I save in cloud subscriptions I spend on electricity lol. I've already got HAproxy doing my https/http reverse proxying inside my network, which diverts traffic all traffic on port 443 based on domain name. As I understand, haproxy/nginx/apache can only do http traffic, so things like minecraft server traffic on port 25565 can't be redirected that way, which is mainly what I'm looking for (along with some sundry ports). That iptables link looks exactly what I'm looking for though, thanks a lot. IPtables seems like the dark arts of firewalling to me - I've only been exposed to UFW so far. I'll take a look and post back here if it works.

I run some public facing services on my home network, some of which I want to open up to people I don’t know or trust. While the chance of me being DDOSed is low, I want some kind of protection just in case. (Preferably using free accounts on cloud hosting services) At the moment I’ve got SSLH on a Linode VM which just forwards all traffic on port 443 to my home network. It works perfectly. It transparently forwards all protocols on that port, hides my public IP and I can just turn it off should I get attacked (Correct me if I’m wrong). However, SSLH can only do one at a time. Does anyone know of a program that can forward multiple ports/protocols at the same time? Cheers,

I think I might just go with a EK universal waterblock (which go for ~£40) with some VRAM and VREG heatsinks on it but I'll see... Thanks for the replies guys!

Basically I needed a cheap and cheerful upgrade and as NOBODY wants GTX480s any more they go for really cheap, and I realise that getting a newer card would befit me tenfold but it has the horsepower I need for the moment...

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but I need some help... For those of you who undoubtedly going to say I should sell the GTX480 and get a newer card, Please don't. I know the Fermi line of cards was a complete failure in terms of heat output and power consumption, but I have my reasons for buying it. I recently bought a GTX480 and am looking to incorporate it in to my watercooling loop, however I cannot find a full cover waterblock anywhere relatively cheap in the UK. If anyone has one or knows if anybody else does I would greatly appreciate it (or even if you have a better place for me to post this). I'm In the UK if anyone was wondering or hadn't realised yet.

I did have a Air Conditioner pointed at the rad, So I guessed that helped. I will post legit temps later!

EDIT: There is a reason that I could get the CPU down to 4c, I had an air conditioner pointed at the rad, And yes I know you can't cool below ambient with watercooling parts alone... This is now my second water cooled system, but the first I have built for myself. So here's the story... Back in 2011 I built a FX-8150 system for Graphic design in Cinema 4D and after effects and a bit of gaming too. Both Cinema 4D and affects take a whack-tonne of CPU power to use. With all that power came a lot of heat so I switched out the stock heat skink with a akasa X4 cooler which could keep it at a reasonable temperature @ stock clocks (~60°C under load). Since then it has been sitting under my desk chugging along and collecting dust, Until very recently... I’d been wanting to do some overclocking for a long time to speed up the render time however I could not because of thermal limits. Why? For the same reason Linus does it: http://youtu.be/QBfXruwe8w4?t=57s . So an upgrade was in order. I have, sorry, had a large air conditioner that recently started spewing coolant everywhere, so I cannibalized it and salvaged the evaporator radiator which has a very high fin density and a nice flow rate. I then strapped it to the side of the case and called it a day. This was to be the radiator for my water cooling loop. I then mustered every penny I could find and bought an EK supremacy LTX waterblock, a Laing DDC pump and an XSPC pump top and resivoir combo. Condensation on tubes was also a problem so I bought so anti-condensation tubing I'm still running a crappy GT430 GPU that runs games fine on low settings, but it needs a upgrade badly. List of components: AMD Bulldozer FX-8150 @ 4.6Ghz ASUS Sabertooth 990FX GeForce GT430 (Yep, the overpriced graphics card that Linus said was a stupid and no one should buy) Crucial Ballistics Tactical Tracer 12GB XFX Pro 450W Power supply 2X WD 1TB Black HDD in raid 0 All housed in the Zalman Z9+ The Finished System CPU Socket Radiator I drilled into the pipe slightly... So I fixed it some random epoxy. *Remember, Do as I say not as I do* Temperatures @ 20c Idle at desktop: ~4c Prime 95 for 4 hours @ 4.6GHz: ~31c

Wasn't really sure on this one, But I just love the thumbnail.... And yeah...
