Port forwarding
Port forwarding is a form of NAT
(Network Address Translation). It allows certain traffic from
the internet to access applications and games on PCs on your inside (LAN) network.
The firewall can be circumvented this way to allow you to host a game or FTP server
or open a firewall port for some other application.
Status: You can enable or disable forwards without deleting them.
Name: This can be an arbitrary name.
Status: Shows status of port forwarding for the
selected port (enabled or disabled).
Port: Here you can enter the port or ports you want
forwarded. You can enter several ports comma separated (e.g. 21,23,80).
A port range is entered with a colon (e.g. 2600:2700).
Protocol: The Protocol field displays the selected protocol for the
forwarded port (TCP or UDP).
IP address: Shows the internal IP address of the
PC where the traffic for the port mentioned above is
forwarded.(e.g.192.168.1.55).
