If you host a web server on your local network, you can use port forwarding to allow web 
requests from anyone on the Internet to reach your web server. 



Assign your web server either a fixed IP address or a dynamic IP address using DHCP 

address reservation. 

In this example, your router always gives your web server an IP address of 192.168.1.33. 

In the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen, configure the router to forward the HTTP 

service to the local address of your web server at 192.168.1.33. 

HTTP (port 80) is the standard protocol for web servers.

(Optional) Register a host name with a Dynamic DNS service and specify that name in the 

Dynamic DNS screen of the router. 

Dynamic DNS makes it much easier to access a server from the Internet because you 
can type the name in the Internet browser. Otherwise, you must know the IP address that 
the ISP assigned, which typically changes.

The following sequence shows the effects of a port forwarding rule:

When you type the URL www.example.com in your browser, the browser sends a web 

page request message with the following destination information: 

Destination address. The IP address of www.example.com, which is the address of 
your router.

Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server 
process.

Your router receives the message and finds your port forwarding rule for incoming port 80 

traffic. 

The router changes the destination in the message to IP address 192.168.1.123 and sends 

the message to that computer.

Your web server at IP address 192.168.1.123 receives the request and sends a reply 

message to your router.
