You can every time you boot the operating system Linux to execute the command
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

But why, if there was a chance configured indicate that include forward packets operating system to be loaded.
1. Open file /etc/sysctl.conf
2. Edit option net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
3. Save file.
