Port forwarding

By default, internet users cannot access any service on any of your local hosts. If you want to
enable internet users to access a particular service on a local host, enable this function and specify
the IP address and service port of the local host. This can also prevent local network from being
attacked when the internal server is opened to the internet users.
Click Advanced, and move to the Port Forwarding module to access the configuration page.
