Please confirm that you enabled port forwarding on both sides.
- Here shows how to enable port forwarding on GCP
- To enable it under the OS please run the followed commands as root:
# echo 1> / proc / sys / net / ipv4 / ip_forward
In order the forwarding bit remains active we will have to modify the file /etc/sysctl.conf and we will uncomment the line
# net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
Uncomment the line and reload
sudo sysctl -p
Now you can run your commands
sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport xx -j DNAT --to-destination XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:xxxx
