6.8.1 Port Forwarding Setup
Port forwarding enables multiple server applications on a LAN to serve clients on a WAN over a single WAN IP address. The router
accepts incoming client packets, filters them based on the destination WAN, or public, port and protocol and forwards the packets to
the appropriate LAN, or local, port. Unlike the DMZ feature, port forwarding protects LAN devices behind the firewall.
