WAN Port | Select through which WAN port you want Internet users |
| access the server. The server’s mapped public IP would be |
| the public IP of the selected WAN port. |

Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advance sections or start using the router (with the advance settings in place)
Example: Virtual Server
The diagram below demonstrates one of the ways you can use the Virtual Server function. Use the Virtual Server when you want the web server located in your private LAN to be accessible to Internet users. The configuration below means that any request coming form the Internet to access your web server will be translated to your LAN’s web server (192.168.2.2). Note: For the virtual server to work properly Internet/remote users must know your global IP address. (For websites you will need to have a fixed/static global/public IP address)
