Port Redirection
is
usually set up for server related service inside the local network (LAN),
such as web servers, FTP servers, E-mail servers etc. Most of the case, you need a public IP
address for each server and this public IP address/domain name are recognized by all users.
Since the server is actually located inside the LAN, the network well protected by NAT of the
router, and identified by its private IP address/port, the goal of Port Redirection function is to
forward all access request with public IP address from external users to the mapping private IP
address/port of the server.
Note that the port redirection can only apply to incoming traffic.
Open Port
allows you to open a range of
ports for the traffic of special applications. Common
application of Open Port includes P2P application (e.g., BT, KaZaA, Gnutella, WinMX,
eMule and others), Internet Camera etc. Ensure that you keep the application involved
up-to-date to avoid falling victim to any security exploits.
