Virtual Servers
Virtual servers allow you to route external (Internet) calls for services such
as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or other applications,
through your Router to your internal network. Since your internal
computers are protected by a firewall, machines from the Internet cannot
get to them because they cannot be “seen”. If you need to configure the
virtual server function for a specific application, you will need to contact
the application vendor to find out which port settings you need. You can
manually input this port information into the Router.
Choosing an Application
A list of popular applications has been included to choose from. Click
on “Select a Service” then select your application from the drop-down
list. The settings will be transferred to the first row available. Click
“Add” to save the setting for that application.
Manually Entering Settings into the Virtual Server
To manually enter settings, click on “Custom Server” and enter a
name for the server. Enter the Server IP address in the space provided
for the internal machine and the port(s) required to pass. Then select
the protocol type (TCP or UDP), and then click “Add”.
Opening ports in your firewall can pose a security risk. You can enable
and disable settings very quickly. It is recommended that you disable
the settings when you are not using a specific application.
