Customer Defined Service Rule (Custom)
The Customer Defined Service section allows you to custom configure a Port Forwarding rule with any Traffic type (TCP/UDP/TCP and UDP), Public Port, and Private Port.
To configure this custom option, follow the steps below:
1.Enter in a Description [Name] for this custom setting
2.Configure the Traffic or Data [Type] that you want to forward. The options are TCP
UDP TCP/UDP.
3.Set the [LAN Server IP] of the PC that you want this traffic/data redirected to
4.You can also configure [Remote IPs] option to limit access to this specific port from the WAN side. This can be configured for 3 different access types:
a.Any IP Address [Any] – choose this option to allow access from any public IP address.
b.Single IP Address [Single Address] – choose this option to only allow access from a single public IP address.
c.IP Address Range [Address Range] – choose the option to only allow a range of public IP addresses.
5.Set the [Start Public Port] and [End Public Port] that this application will use on the WAN (Internet) side. The Gateway will listen for incoming traffic/data to its WAN IP on these ports.
6.Set the [Private Ports] that the Gateway will forward this traffic to on the LAN. If there is a range of ports, enter the starting private port in [Private Ports], select [Enable Port Range] checkbox, and the Gateway will automatically calculate the end private port. The LAN PC server will listen for traffic/data on this/these ports.
Below is an example setting for a WEB server on an Internet connection, where port 80 is blocked from the WAN side, but port 8000 is available.
Name: | Web Server |
Type: | TCP |
LAN Server IP: | 192.168.0.100 |
Remote IPs: | Any (allow access to any public IP) |
Public Port: | 8000 |
Private Port: | 80 |
