Port Forwarding

Incoming traffic from the Internet is normally prevented by a firewall from reaching devices on
your local wireless network. Use port forwarding to allow Internet users to reach any server you are
running on your computer, such as an FTP server. Also, some online games require incoming access
to work properly.
IMPORTANT
You need to set up static IP addresses on your network for each device that has
an application you want to forward to.
