From this section, you can configure the Virtual Server and Special Application features that

provide control over the port openings in the router’s firewall. This section can be used to support
several Internet based applications such as online games.


8.5.1 | Virtual Server

The Virtual Server section allows you to set up public services on your network, such as web
servers, ftp servers, e-mail servers, or other specialized Internet applications. (i.e.

videoconferencing or online gaming.)

NOTE: Some Internet applications may not require any forwarding.


To open or forward a port follow the steps outlined below:

1. Enter in the IP Address of the PC on your network that you want all of this data/traffic

directed to.

2. Select the Protocol Type. This can be TCP, UDP, or Both types of data.

3. Enter in the LAN or Private port; this is the internal port that you want this traffic directed

to.

4. Enter in the WAN or Public Port; this is the external port the traffic will be coming in from

the WAN side.

5. Check the Enable option, and click the [Add] button.


NOTE: If you want to temporally disable a virtual server rule, simply uncheck the Enable option

and click the [Add] button. If you want to remove the virtual server rule, then click the [Clean]
button.
