4.3.3 Virtual Server/Port Forwarding
Port forwarding is a method to direct network traffic from the
Internet to a specific port or a specific range of ports to a device
or number of devices on your local network. Setting up Port
Forwarding on your router allows PCs outside the network to
access specific services provided by a PC in your network.
NOTE:
When port forwarding is enabled, the ASUS router blocks
unsolicited inbound traffic from the Internet and only allows replies
from outbound requests from the LAN. The network client does not
have access to the Internet directly, and vice versa.
To set up Port Forwarding:
1. From the navigation panel, go to
Advanced Settings
>
WAN
>
Virtual Server / Port Forwarding
tab.
2. On the
Enable Port Forwarding
item, select

3. Select either a server or game from the F
amous Server List
or
Famous Game List
. The
Port Forwarding
information will be
automatically filled out on the

. Click the

button.
