Port Forwarding Configuration

Port forwarding enables you to run a server on your local network that can be accessed from

the Internet. You need to set up port forwarding to tell the device on which computer the

server is held. When port forwarding is enabled, your router (the device) routes all the

inbound traffic on a particular port to the chosen computer on your network.
