NAT Forwarding
The router’s NAT (Network Address Translation) feature makes devices on the LAN use 
the same public IP address to communicate with devices on the internet, which protects 
the local network by hiding IP addresses of the devices. However, it also brings about 
the problem that an external host cannot initiatively communicate with a specified 
device on the local network.
With the forwarding feature the router can penetrate the isolation of NAT and allows 
devices on the internet to initiatively communicate with devices on the local network, 
thus realizing some special functions.
The TP-Link router supports four forwarding rules. If two or more rules are set, the 
priority of implementation from high to low is Virtual Servers, Port Triggering, UPNP and 
DMZ.
