If you have IP forwarding enabled, and appropriate interface IP
addresses and routes set at both ends, you should be fine. Note that IP
forwarding is disabled by default.

You may want to check with tcpdump what is actually happening on the
interfaces. Debug traffic one interface at a time. You will see traffic
which would be blocked by the forwarding rules on the accepting
interface, so no need to worry about that.
