Port Forwarding is used to allow a public service such as Web Server, Mail Server, and FTP server to be set up. For example: Set up a Web Server on your computer with port number 8080. Visitor on the internet can access your Web Server by entering WAN Port IP with port number 8080. If your WAN Port IP is 192.168.5.1, then visitor must enter http://192.168.5.1:8080.
