Virtual Servers
Virtual servers allow you to route external (Internet) calls for services such
as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or other applications,
through your Router to your internal network. Since your internal
computers are protected by a firewall, machines from the Internet cannot
get to them because they cannot be “seen”. If you need to configure the
virtual server function for a specific application, you will need to contact
the application vendor to find out which port settings you need.
Entering Settings into the Virtual Server
To enter settings, enter the last digit of your LAN IP address in the
space provided for the internal machine, input the protocol type (TCP
or UDP), and the LAN port and public port number required to pass,
and then select “Enable”, and click “Set”.
Opening ports in your firewall can pose a security risk. You can
enable and disable settings very quickly. It is recommended that you
disable the settings when you are not using a specific application.
Client IP Filters
The Router can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, email, or
other network services at specific days and times. Restriction can be set
for a single computer, a range of computers, or multiple computers.
