2. Configure the Traffic or Data [Type] that you want to forward

the WAN side. This can be configured for 3 different access types:
a. Any IP Address [Any] – choose this option to allow access to any public IP
address.

single public IP address.

IP addresses.
5. Set the [Public Port] that this application will use on the WAN (Internet) side
6. Set the [Private Port] that the LAN PC will be waiting for this traffic/data from
Below is an example setting for a WEB server on an internet connection, where port 80 is
blocked from the WAN side, but port 8000 is available.
Name:
Web Server
Type:
TCP
LAN Server IP: 10.1.10.100
Remote IPs:
Any (allow access to any public IP)
Public Port:
8000
Private Port: 80
With this configuration, all HTTP (Web) TCP traffic from any IP Address from the WAN side will
be redirected through the firewall to the Internal Server (192.168.2.100) on port 80.
Note: This configuration is useful because you don’t have to reconfigure your web server to
accept traffic on a different port, you can do this configuration from the firewall.
