Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding Router’s NAT (Network Address Translation) feature makes the devices in the LAN use the same public IP address to communicate in the Internet, which protects the local network by hiding IP addresses of the devices. However, it also brings about the problem that external host cannot initiatively communicate with the specified device in the local network.
Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding 10. 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.
Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding 4. Click View Existing Services, and choose HTTP. The external port, internal port and protocol will be auto-populated. Enter the PC’s IP address 192.168.1.100 in the Internal IP field. 5. Click OK to save the settings. Tips: 1. It is recommended to keep the default settings of Internal Port and Protocol if you are not clear about which port and protocol to use. 2. If the service you want to use is not in the Service Type, you can enter the corresponding parameters manually.
Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port triggering is mainly applied to online games, VoIPs and video players.

Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password you set for the router. 2. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Port Triggering and click Add. 3.
Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding all ports opened. When you are not clear about which ports to open in some special applications, like IP camera and database software, you can set the PC to be a DMZ host. Note: DMZ is more applicable in the situation that users are not clear about which ports to open. When it is enabled, the DMZ host is totally exposed to the Internet, which may bring some potential safety hazard. If DMZ is not in use, please disable it in time.
Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding to use applications for multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time communication (such as VoIP or telephone conference) or remote assistance, etc. Tips: 1. UPnP is enabled by default in this router. 2. Only the application supporting UPnP protocol can use this feature. 3.
