The second step (in IP terms) is to connect *from* an address that 192.168.1.1
can reply to.

Just add an address in the 192.168.1.0/24 range to your interface ethv0, and
it will (a) create the routing table entry for you, and (b) ensure that the
router can reply to your browser.

How to do that?

Old style: ifconfig ethv0:1 192.168.1.42

New style: ip addr add 192.168.1.42/24 dev ethv0

Once you're done:

Old: ifconfig ethv0:1 down

New: ip addr del 192.168.1.42/24 dev ethv0
