VPN Passthrough
IPSec Passthrough Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is
a suite of protocols used to implement secure exchange
of packets at the IP layer. To allow IPSec tunnels to pass
through the Router, keep the default, Enabled.
PPPoE Passthrough Point-to-Point over Ethernet
(PPPoE) Passthrough allows your computer(s) to use the
PPPoE client software provided by your ISP. Some ISPs
may request that you use this feature on the Router. To
allow PPPoE Passthrough, keep the default, Enabled.
PPTP Passthrough Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
(PPTP) allows the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to be
tunneled through an IP network. To allow PPTP tunnels to
pass through the Router, keep the default, Enabled.

Applications and Gaming > Port Range
Forwarding
The Port Range Forwarding screen allows you to set up
public services on your network, such as web servers,
ftp servers, e-mail servers, or other specialized Internet
applications. (Specialized Internet applications are any
applications that use Internet access to perform functions
such as videoconferencing or online gaming. Some Internet
applications may not require any forwarding.)
When users send these types of requests to your network via
the Internet, the Router will forward those requests to the
appropriate servers (computers). Before using forwarding,
you should assign static IP addresses to the designated
servers.
If you need to forward all ports to one computer, click the
DMZ tab.

Applications & Gaming > Port Triggering
The Port Triggering screen allows the Router to watch
outgoing data for specific port numbers. The IP address of
the computer that sends the matching data is remembered
by the Router, so that when the requested data returns
through the Router, the data is pulled back to the proper
computer by way of IP address and port mapping rules.
