NAT Forwarding
12 1 Share Local Resources on the Internet by Port
Forwarding
When you build up a server on the local network and want to share it on the internet,
Port Forwarding can realize the service and provide it to internet users. At the same
time Port Forwarding can keep the local network safe as other services are still invisible
from the internet.
Port Forwarding can be used for setting up public services on your local network,
such as HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3/SMTP and Telnet. Different services use different
service ports. Port 80 is used in HTTP service, port 21 in FTP service, port 25 in SMTP
service and port 110 in POP3 service. Please verify the service port number before the
configuration.
I want to:
Share my personal website I’ve built in local network with my friends through the internet.
For example,
the personal website has been built on my home PC (192.168.0.100). I hope
that my friends on the internet can visit my website in some way. The PC is connected
to the router with the WAN IP address 218.18.232.154.
