9.3 Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding allows you to redirect a particular
public port to a computer on your LAN network. This
helps you host servers behind the NAT and Firewall.
In the example below, there is a Web Server running on
port 80 on the LAN.
For security reasons, the Administrator would like to
provide this server to Internet connection on port 100.
Therefore when there is a connection from the Internet
on port 100, it will be forwarded to the computer with
the IP address 192.168.1.150 and changed to port 80.
