Your gateway contains a firewall that blocks any communication initiated from outside network.
This function may affect some applications behaviour:
- Online games

- Server applications (FTP, SMTP)
To allow some of your applications to pass through the firewall:
 Select the "Applications" menu in the "Box" tab
 Select the applications you require from the drop-down menus
 Click OK to confirm

Configuring the NAT

The forwarding table allows all the packets received via a specific port to be transmitted to a
specific machine on the internal network. Therefore, if you want to be able to access a web server
operating on machine 10.0.0.67 from outside, you will have to define a forwarding rule that
redirects all the TCP packets received via port 80 to another defined port on machine 10.0.0.67.
