NAT Forwarding

11. 1. Share Local Resources on the Internet by Virtual

Servers

When you build up a server on the local network and want to share it on the internet,
Virtual Servers can realize the service and provide it to internet users. At the same time
Virtual Servers can keep the local network safe as other services are still invisible from
the internet.
Virtual Servers can be used for setting up public services on your local network, such as
HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3/SMTP and Telnet. Different services use different service ports.
Port 80 is used in HTTP service, port 21 in FTP service, port 25 in SMTP service and port
110 in POP3 service. Please verify the service port number before the configuration.

Share my personal website I’ve built in local network with my
friends through the internet.

For example,

the personal website has been built on my home

PC (192.168.0.100). I hope that my friends on the internet can
visit my website in some way. The PC is connected to the router
with the WAN IP address 218.18.232.154.
