Port Forwarding

Port forwarding (or virtual server) allows you to direct incoming traffic to specific LAN hosts based on a

protocol port number and protocol. Using the Port Forwarding page, you can provide local services (for

example, web hosting) for people on the Internet or play Internet games. Port forwarding is configurable
per LAN group.

members of a defined LAN group. You can view the rules associated with a predefined category and

forwarding rules.
