NAT Forwarding

11. 1. Share Local Resources on the Internet by Virtual

Servers

When you build up a server in the local network and want to share it on the internet,

Virtual Servers can realize the service and provide it to the internet users. At the same

time Virtual Servers can keep the local network safe as other services are still invisible

from the internet.

Virtual Servers can be used for setting up public services in your local network, such as

HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3/SMTP and Telnet. Different service uses different service port.

Port 80 is used in HTTP service, port 21 in FTP service, port 25 in SMTP service and port

110 in POP3 service. Please verify the service port number before the configuration.

Share my personal website I’ve built in local network with my

friends through the internet.

For example, the personal website has been built on my home

PC (192.168.0.100). I hope that my friends on the internet can

visit my website in some way. The PC is connected to the router

with the WAN IP address 218.18.232.154.
