23 You should probably specify the local subnet, so that multicast packets are
24 not sent out to the Internet, e.g.:
25
26 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o enp0s8 -s 192.168.1.0/24 ! -d 192.168.1.0/24
27 -j MASQUERADE
28
29 (Change 192.168.1.0/24 to suit your LAN subnet)
30
31 Also have you enabled ip forwarding in your kernel:
32
33 sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
