16. Port Forwarding
Entries in this table allow you to automatically redirect common network services to a specific machine
behind the NAT firewall. These settings are only necessary if you wish to host some sort of server like a
web server or mail server on the private local network behind your Gateway's NAT firewall.
Your device has built in advanced Security features that protect your network by blocking unwanted traffic
from the Internet.
If you simply want to connect from your local network to the Internet, you do not need to make any changes
to the default Security configuration. You only need to edit the configuration if you wish to do one or both of
the following:
• allow Internet users to browse the user pages on your local network (for example, by providing an FTP
or HTTP server)
• play certain games which require accessibility from the Internet
This chapter describes how to configure Security to suit the needs of your network.
