traffic throught a SOCKS proxy

I have a virutal network in VMWare with 2 virtual machines.

A: Not connected to Internet but is connected to B

B: Conntected to Internet and to A (interface for A is

192.168.16.2)

I have to create a SOCKS proxy to redirect all the TCP (and

HTTP/S) traffic from A to B.

In such way, A can use Internet.

For this i installed REDSOCKS on A with this configuration

(redsocks.conf):

base {
log_debug = on;
log_info = on;
log = "stderr";
daemon = on;
redirector = iptables;

}
redsocks {
local_ip = 127.0.0.1;
local_port = 12345;

ip = 192.168.16.2;
port = 1337;
type = socks5;
login = "Bmachine";
password = "Bmachine";
}

And i start redsocks with

sudo redsocks -c redsocks.conf

then i start ssh on B with this command:

ssh -N -D 0.0.0.0:1337 127.0.0.1

And to redirect all the traffic into the proxy, on A i do the

following commands:

sudo iptables -t nat -N REDSOCKS

sudo iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -d 0.0.0.0/8

-j RETURN
sudo iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -d
10.0.0.0/8 -j RETURN
sudo iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -d
127.0.0.0/8 -j RETURN

sudo iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -d

sudo iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -d

sudo iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -d
240.0.0.0/4 -j RETURN

sudo iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -p tcp -j

REDIRECT --to-ports 12345

sudo iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport

443 -j REDSOCKS
sudo iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport
80 -j REDSOCKS

sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp

--dport 443 -j REDSOCKS
sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp
--dport 80 -j REDSOCKS

That's all but when i try to use Internet or open Firefox from
A, i can't reach nothing, Internet doesn't work.
