2.22.1 Share Local Resources in the Internet by Virtual Server
When you build up a server in the local network and want to share it on the Internet, Virtual Server can realize the service
and provide it to the Internet users. At the same time virtual server can keep the local network safe as other services are
still invisible from the Internet.
Virtual server 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.
I want to
Share my personal website I’ve built in local network with my friends through the Internet.
For example: The personal website has been built in my home computer (192.168.0.100). I hope
that my friends in the Internet can visit my website in some way. The computer is connected to the
router with the WAN IP address 218.18.232.154.
How can I
do that?
1. Assign a static IP address to your computer, for example 192.168.0.100.
2. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net
, and log in with the username and password you set for the router.
3. Go to Advanced -> NAT Forwarding -> Virtual Servers, and click Add.
4. Click View Existing Services, and select your Service Type (in this case: HTTP). The External Port,
Internal Port and Protocol will be automatically filled with contents. Enter the computer’s IP
address 192.168.0.100 in the Internal IP field.
5. Click OK to save the settings.
