Since NAT acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, your router protects your network from
access by outside users, as all incoming connection attempts point to your router unless
you specifically create Virtual Server entries to forward those ports to a PC on your
network. When your router needs to allow outside users to access internal servers, e.g. a
web server, FTP server, Email server or game server, the router can act as a “virtual
server”. You can set up a local server with a specific port number for the service to use,
e.g. web/HTTP (port 80), FTP (port 21), Telnet (port 23), SMTP (port 25), or POP3 (port
110). When an incoming access request to the router for a specified port is received, it is
forwarded to the corresponding internal server.
