User Manual

The IP address of the system on your internal network that will provide the virtual service, for example

192.168.0.50

. You can select a computer from the list of DHCP clients in the "Computer Name" drop-down

menu, or you can manually enter the IP address of the server computer.

Protocol

Select the protocol used by the service. The common choices -- UDP, TCP, and both UDP and TCP -- can be

selected from the drop-down menu. To specify any other protocol, select "Other" from the list, then enter the

corresponding protocol number (as assigned by the IANA) in the Protocol box.

Private Port

The port that will be used on your internal network.

Public Port

The port that will be accessed from the Internet.

Schedule

Select a schedule for when the service will be enabled. If you do not see the schedule you need in the list of

schedules, go to the Tools → Schedules screen and create a new schedule.

Inbound Filter

Select a filter that controls access as needed for this virtual server. If you do not see the filter you need in the

list of filters, go to the Advanced → Inbound Filter screen and create a new filter.

Save/Update

Record the changes you have made into the following list.

Clear

Virtual Server List

This is a list of the defined Virtual Servers. Click the Enable checkbox at the left to directly activate or

de-activate the entry. An entry can be changed by clicking the Edit icon or can be deleted by clicking the

Delete icon. When you click the Edit icon, the item is highlighted, and the "Edit Virtual Servers" section is

activated for editing.

Note: You might have trouble accessing a virtual server using its public identity (WAN-side IP-address of the gateway

or its dynamic DNS name) from a machine on the LAN. Your requests may not be looped back or you may be

redirected to the "Forbidden" page.

This will happen if you have an Access Control Rule configured for this LAN machine.

The requests from the LAN machine will not be looped back if Internet access is blocked at the time of access. To

work around this problem, access the LAN machine using its LAN-side identity.

Requests may be redirected to the "Forbidden" page if web access for the LAN machine is restricted by an Access

Control Rule. Add the WAN-side identity (WAN-side IP-address of the router or its dynamic DNS name) on the

Advanced → Web Filter screen to work around this problem.
