I need to forward from one server to another IP (Non HTTP) FreeBSD

Question

This question has probably been asked before. Suppose I have FreeBSD 12, and I have a server with for example ip: 45.***.***.*** and I want it to forward a port like 25565 (Minecraft Server) to another ip: 95.***.***.***

Does this answer your question? How to forward a port from one machine to another? — Jim L., Oct 14 '21 at 19:38
@JimL. No, without SSH. I want the VDS server to be a protection for the main server (I think) — Redis, Oct 16 '21 at 09:49

In theory I can use nginx

Nginx can redirect tcp & udp traffic

would a proxy server like squid not work? – fcbsd Oct 31 '22 at 23:07

A common usecase would be to setup a firewall which does the port redirection.

On FreeBSD there are three options, pf, ipfw, and ipfilter.

All are able to do this. Personally I think pf is the most easy to learn, but YMMV. The handbook has some chapters on how to setup a firewall.
