7.7 Advanced Setup - NAT

7.7.1 Virtual Server

The firewall of the router filters out unrecognized packets to protect your intranet. This means that all network hosts are invisible to the outside world. However, some of the hosts can be made accessible by enabling the Virtual Server mapping. A virtual server is defined as a Service Port. All requests to this port will be redirected to the computer specified by the Server IP.

The virtual server can work with scheduling rules as well. This gives you more flexibility for access control.
