Public Start IP:
This is the starting Inside Public IP Address. Enter 0.0.0.0 here if you
have a dynamic IP address from your ISP.
Public End IP:
This is the ending Inside Public IP Address. This field is N/A for
One-to-one, Many-to-One
and Server mapping types.
WARNING
Using port forwarding does have security implications, as outside users will be able to
connect to PCs on your network. For this reason you are advised to use specific Virtual
Server entries just for the ports your application requires, instead of using DMZ. As doing
so will result in all connections from the WAN attempt to access to your public IP of the
DMZ PC specified.
NOTE
If you have disabled the NAT option in the WAN-ISP section, the Virtual Server function will
hence be invalid. If the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in
assigning the IP addresses of the virtual servers in order to avoid conflicts. The easiest way
of configuring Virtual Servers is to manually assign static IP address to each virtual server
PC, with an address that does not fall into the range of IP addresses that are to be issued
by the DHCP server. You can configure the virtual server IP address manually, but it must
still be in the same subnet as the router.
