5.5 Port Forwarding

Port forwarding rules alter the destination address (and 
optionally the destination port) of packets received on the 
wireless port or VPN interfaces of the unit. Port forwards can 
be used to forward specific services (eg HTTP) to a private 
machine on the LAN network without needing to expose the 
entire private machine to the public network.

To access the port forward configuration page, select the 
Firewall tab from the main menu, then the Port Forwards tab 
from the sub-menu. The page will list a table showing all cur-
rent port forwards. When first selected the table will be 
empty as shown in Figure 65

Figure 65: Port forward page with no port forwards configured.
