• Special Applications
Some applications, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing, Internet telephony require
multiple connections. These applications cannot work with Network Address Translation
(NAT) enabled. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, use the
following screen to specify the additional public ports to be opened for each application.
Specify the port or port range normally associated with an application in the “Trigger Port”
field, select the protocol type as TCP or UDP, and then enter the public ports and data type
associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic.
The maximum range that you can use for all NAT ports is 0 to 65535.

hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack,
UDP Port Loopback, Snork Attack, TCP Null Scan, and TCP SYN Flooding.
