Virtual Server

Advanced > Firewall > Virtual Server Rules
Virtual Server (also called port forwarding) allows you to define specific ports (used or
required by a specific application) and forward them to a single IP address (a computer
or device) on your network. Using this feature is more secure compared to using DMZ
(see "DMZ" on page 34) in which DMZ forwards all ports instead of only specific ports
used by an application. An example would be forwarding a port to an IP camera
(TRENDnet IP cameras default to HTTP TCP port 80 for remote access web requests) on
your network to be able to view it over the Internet. To open several ports please refer
to "Gaming" section on page 37.
Since most ISPs constantly change your home IP address, to be able to access the Virtual
Server port(s) from the Internet it is recommended to setup Dynamic DNS service
(outlined in Identify Your Network section page 49).
1. Log into your router management page (see
on page 16).

protocols are required. You should assign a static IP address to the device or use
DHCP reservation to ensure the IP address of the device does not change.
• Public Port: Enter the port number used to access the device from the Internet.
• LAN IP Address: Enter the IP address of the device to forward the port (e.g.
192.168.10.101).
