Example: the Web server has been configured to react to requests on port 8080. 
However, the requests from ripostes enter by port 80 (standard value). If you add the 
PC to the forwarding table and define port 80 as the public port and port 8080 as an 
internal port, all requests from the Internet are diverted to the service with the port 
number 80 on the Web server of the PC you have defined with port 8080.

Opening the Firewall for Selected PCs (Exposed Host)
You can set up a client in your local network to be an exposed host. Your device will 
them forward all incoming data traffic from the Internet to this client. You can then, for 
example, operate your own Web server on one of the clients in your local network and 
make it accessible to Internet users.
As the exposed host, your local client is directly visible to the Internet and therefore par-
ticularly exposed to risk (for example from hacker attacks). You should only activate this 
function if it is absolutely necessary (for example to operate a Web server) and other 
functions (for example port forwarding) are not adequate. In this case you should take 
appropriate measures on the clients concerned.
ì
To set up a PC an exposed host, select Exposed Host in the Address Translation 
(NAT)
 menu.
Note:
You can enter a single port number, several individual port numbers separated by 
commas, port blocks consisting of two port numbers separated by a dash, or any 
combination of these, e.g. 80,90-140,180).
Please remember:
Only one PC per public IP address can be set up an Exposed Host (see also Section "Port 
Forwarding" on page 88.
