Users in the internet can enter
http:// WAN IP
(in this example, enter
http:// 218.18.232.154) to visit your personal website.
Note:
1. WAN IP should be a public IP address. For the WAN IP is assigned dynamically by ISP, it is recommended
to apply and register a domain name for the WAN by DDNS, go to
Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account
for more information. Then you can use
http://domain name
to visit the website.
2. If you have changed the default
External Port
, you should use
http://WAN IP: External Port
or
http://domain name: External Port
to visit the website.
10 3 Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering
Port triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports.
When a host in the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the
external ports will be opened for subsequent connections. The router can record the
IP address of the host. When the data from the internet return to the external ports, the
router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port triggering is mainly applied
to online games, VoIPs and video players. Common applications include MSN Gaming
Zone, Dialpad and Quick Time 4 players, etc.
Follow the steps below to configure the port triggering rules:
