NGINX non-HTTP port forwarding from internet to private LAN preserving the client IP

[Mauro Tridici]

Dear Users,

I really appreciate NGINX tool and I've been using it for a while, but I’m not an expert user.
So, I would like to ask you if I can use NGINX i order to start a port forwarding from an internet client to a server machine in my private LAN preserving the client IP.
IMPORTANT: the source and the destination ports are the same (11750) and they are not HTTP ports.

At the moment, I’m doing it using firewalld port forwarding, but, on the server machine, I have no information about the client IP address. 
Is there a way to do it better using NGINX? If yes, is there a running example to refer to?

My NGINX version is the following one:

nginx -V

Thank you very much for your attention.
Sorry if I said something wrong.
