Virtual Servers

This feature allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet users. Normally, Internet
users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because:
•
Your Server's IP address is only valid on your LAN, not on the Internet.
•
Attempts to connect to devices on your LAN are blocked by the firewall in the XC-DPG Twin WAN
Router.
The "Virtual Server" feature solves these problems and allows Internet users to connect to your
servers, as illustrated below.
Note that, in this illustration, both Internet users are connecting to the same IP Address, but using
different protocols.

All PCs (users) are in the Default Group unless moved to another group on
the Host IP screen.
If you want the same restrictions to apply to everyone, select Default for the
Group. In this case, there is no need to enter any Hosts on the Host IP
screen.
If you wish to apply different restrictions on different Groups, select the
desired Group, and click the "Select" button. The screen will update with
data for the selected Group.
Enable/Disable – Use this to Enable or Disable each setting, as required.
Block URL/IP/Keyword – Enter the URL, IP address or keyword you wish
to block.
