This command sets up port forwarding using the pf packet filter In this example): sed '/rdr-anchor/a rdr pass on vmnet8 inet proto tcp from any to any port 5555 -> 127.0.0.1 port 5555' /etc/pf.conf | sudo pfctl -ef. The odd-numbered port on the loopback interface ( 127.0.0.1:5555
To redirect TCP packets from port 5555 (or any other port you (Option 1 is usually easier than Option 2, especially if System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall is switched on.)
