 Forward protocol connections from external networks to the following 
internal devices: Enables protocol forwarding to the specified internal devices. 
Currently, the only IP protocols for which protocol forwarding is supported are:
– Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE, IP protocol 47)
– Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP, IP protocol 50, tunnel mode only).
These are routing protocols that are used to route (tunnel) various types of 
information between networks. If your network needs to use the GRE or ESP 
protocol between the public and private networks, enable this feature 
accordingly.
 Forward TCP/UDP connections from external networks to the following 
internal devices: Specifies a list of connections based on a specific IP port and 
where those connections should be forwarded to. Typically the connecting 
devices come from the public side of the network and are redirected to a device 
on the private side of the network. 
Example
For example, to enable port forwarding of RealPort data (network port 771) on a 
Digi Connect WAN VPN to a Digi Connect SP with an IP address of 10.8.128.10, you 
would do the following:
 Make sure the Enable IP Routing checkbox is checked.
 In the Forward TCP/UDP connections from external networks to the 
following internal devices section, enter the port forwarding information as 
follows, and click Add:
