Virtual Server (sometimes referred to as Port Forwarding) is the act of
forwarding traffic from one network node to another based on received
protocol port number. This technique can allow an external user to reach a
port on a private IP address (inside a LAN) from the outside through a NAT-
enabled router. (Maximum 32 entries are allowed.)
