This time I wanted to deploy a router for the purpose of serving content from an internal web server, to an external LAN or WAN.

While this is something that I used recently for a local hackathon, I believe it has greater “real world” application, and can be modified only slightly to accommodate the deployment of other services or applications.

CentOS Router: Configuration in Vmware

In preparation for an upcoming hackathon, I began working with CentOS as a means to route traffic between two VMware machines: a ParrotOS machine, and a Metasploitable2 machine – both configured on different subnets.

For this tutorial I used the following:

  • VMware Workstation 15
  • ParrotOS
  • Metasploitable2
  • CentOS (Minimal Installation)

CentOS Router Configuration

First, let’s configure the CentOS router to forward traffic between the ParrotOS machine (residing on network 192.168.10.0) and the Metasploitable2 machine (residing on network 192.168.20.0).
