Configure the Router in Hotspot Router Mode

5. 7. 1. Virtual Server

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 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 to set 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 in my home PC

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

my website in some way. My PC is connected to the router with

the WAN IP address 218.18.232.154.
