6.7.3 Port Forwarding Setup
Port forwarding enables multiple server applications on a LAN to serve clients on a WAN over a single WAN IP address. The
router accepts incoming client packets, filters them based on the destination WAN, or public, port and protocol and forwards
the packets to the appropriate LAN, or local, port. Unlike the DMZ feature, port forwarding protects LAN devices behind the
firewall.
