VIRTUAL SERVER SETTINGS (PORT FORWARDING)

Virtual Server (sometimes referred to as Port Forwarding) is the act of forwarding a network port from one network node to another. This technique can allow an external user to reach a port on a private IP address (inside a LAN) from the outside through a NAT-enabled router. (Maximum 32 entries are allowed.)
