Port Forwarding

Port Forwarding allows incoming traffic from the Internet to be forwarded to a particular computer or
device on your Wi-Fi network. Normally, the built-in firewall blocks incoming traffic from the Internet.
Port forwarding allows Internet users to access any server you are running on your computer, such as
a Web, FTP, or E-mail server. For some online games, port forwarding must be used in order for the
games to function correctly.
IMPORTANT: Port forwarding creates a security risk and should be turned off when not required.
