4.3.3 Virtual Server/Port Forwarding

Port forwarding is a method to direct network traffic from the Internet to a specific port or a specific range of ports to a device or number of devices on your local network. Setting up Port Forwarding on your router allows PCs outside the network to access specific services provided by a PC in your network.

NOTE: When port forwarding is enabled, the ASUS router blocks unsolicited inbound traffic from the Internet and only allows replies from outbound requests from the LAN. The network client does not have access to the Internet directly, and vice versa.

To set up Port Forwarding:

1.From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN > Virtual Server / Port Forwarding tab.

2.On the Enable Port Forwarding item, select Yes.

3.Select either a server or game from the Famous Server List or Famous Game List. The Port Forwarding information will be automatically filled out on the Forwarding List. Click the Add button.
