Port Forwarding
This page allows you to configure Port Forwarding. This feature is used when you need to set up
Servers in the LAN. Traffic initiated from the WAN (Internet) is normally blocked. Port forwarding
allows the specific type of traffic to pass through the Router to reach the Server in the LAN.
Examples of these Servers are Web Servers and Game Servers.
