Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall 200 FVX538 Figure 6-6: Rule example: one-to-one NAT mapping on inbound services To test the connection from a PC on the Internet, type http://, where is the public IP address you have mapped to your web server. You should see the home page of your web server. Inbound Rule Example: Exposed Host Specifying an exposed host allows you to set up a computer or server that is available to anyone on the Internet for services that you haven't defined. To expose one of the PCs on your LAN or DMZ as this host, do the following (see Figure 6-7): 1. Create an inbound rule that allows all protocols. 2. Place the rule below all other inbound rules.
