Port Forwarding

Port Forwarding allows you to redirect a particular

public port to a computer on your LAN network.

This helps you host servers behind the NAT and

Firewall.

In the example below, there is a WEB Server running

on port 80 on the LAN. For security reasons, the

Administrator would like to provide this server to

Internet connection on port 1000.

Therefore then there is a connection from the

Internet on port 1000, it will be forwarded to the

computer with the IP address 192.168.0.100 and

changed to port 80.
