Using Self-defined Servers

If a server is not listed on the Port Forwarding screen, users can define and manage their own servers, using the following steps.

Create a new Server:

1.

Click Clear Form.

 

2.

Enter the required data, as described above.

 

3.

Click Add a new Server.

 

4.

The new server appears in the Service list.

Modify (Edit) a Server:

1.

Select the server from the Service list.

 

2.

Make any changes.

 

3.

Click Update Selected Server to save changes to the selected server.

Delete a Server:

1.

Select an entry from the Service list.

 

2.

Click Delete.

Note: Only user-defined servers can be deleted. Pre-defined servers cannot be deleted.

Note: From the WAN or Internet, ALL Port Forwarding have the same IP address - the IP address assigned to the WAN port.

Connecting to User-defined Servers

Once configured, anyone on the WAN or Internet can connect to the user-defined servers. They must use the WAN (Internet) IP address, for example:

http://203.70.212.52

ftp://203.70.212.52

It is more convenient to use a Fixed IP address (rather than Dynamic). However, to allow users to connect to Port Forwarding using a URL, rather than an IP address, use the Dynamic DNS feature, described in the following section.
