Redirect all websites to a single webpage using iptables

Question

I have a router which runs busybox, it has iptables so i wanted to redirect all webpages clients request to a single webpage. I cant use hosts file because the /etc folder is mounted as read-only. Is it possible to do that using iptables? Im new to both linux and networking so please try to be clear.

In order to perform HTTP redirects, you need something that understands the HTTP protocol, which iptables does not. You'll need to install an HTTP-aware application (e.g. a webserver) that you can configure to perform your redirect.

Don't do this on a router. Your router should be tasked with only routing/firewalling. Use a proper webserver. – EEAA Oct 27 '15 at 16:16
