Virtual Server Settings (Port Forwarding)

Virtual Server (sometimes referred to as Port Forwarding) is the act of forwarding a
network port from one network node to another. This technique can allow an
external user to reach a port on a private IP address (inside a LAN) from the outside
through a NAT-enabled router. (Maximum 32 entries are allowed.)
