Application Rules

Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, Internet telephony and others.

These applications have difficulties working through NAT (Network Address Translation). Special Applications makes some of these

applications work with the DIR-68. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, specify the port normally

associated with an application in the “Trigger Port” field, select the protocol type as TCP or UDP, then enter the firewall (public) ports

associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic.

The DIR-68 provides some predefined applications in the table on the bottom of the web page. Select the application you want to

use and enable it.
