‘NAT and port forwarding' submenu
In the 'NAT and port forwarding' submenu, you may configure port forwarding from WAN interface to
LAN interface. This submenu is available only when the Internet service is configured in the router mode.
NAT (Network Address Translation) allows for IP packet address and network port translation. Port
forwarding is required when TCP/UDP connection to a local computer (connected to LAN interface) is
established from the external network. In this settings menu, you may define the rules allowing packets to pass
from the external network to the specified address in the local network and thus enabling connection. In
general, port forwarding is necessary for torrent and P2P service operation. For this purpose, you should
identify TCP/UDP ports used by a torrent or P2P client in their settings and assign the respective forwarding
rules for your computer IP address.
