10 Port Forwarding
In Port Forwarding part, you can add Port Forwarding rules.
If computers are connected to the router to form a LAN and access the internet through the router, internet
users cannot access the servers built on the hosts on the LAN, such as web servers, email servers, and FTP
servers. To enable internet users to access a LAN server, enable the port forwarding function of the router, and
map one service port to the IP address of the LAN server. This enables the router to forward the requests arriving
at the port from the internet to the LAN server.
