3.1.4 NAT/Bridging
3.1.4.1 NAT Loopback
Allows you to access the WAN IP address from inside your local network. This is useful
when you run a server inside your network. For an example, if you set a mail server at LAN
side, your local devices can access this mail server through gateway’s WAN IP address. You
don’t need to change the IP address of mail server no matter you are at local side or go out.
This is useful when you run a server inside your network.
3.1.4.2 Virtual Server
This device’s NAT firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your Intranet, so all
hosts behind this device are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of
them accessible by enabling the Virtual Server Mapping.
A virtual server is defined as a
Service Port
, and all requests to this port will be redirected to
the computer specified by the
Server IP.
Virtual Server
can work with
Scheduling Rules
,
and give users more flexibility on Access control. For the details, please refer to

Rule
