v1.0, May 2012
• Allow inbound access to your server. To allow inbound access to resources on your local
network (for example, a Web server or remote desktop program), you can open the needed
services by configuring port forwarding as described in “Allowing Inbound Connections to
Your Network” on page 5-1.
• Allow certain games and applications to function correctly. Some games and applications
need to allow additional inbound traffic in order to function. Port triggering can dynamically
allow additional service connections, as described in “Configuring Port Triggering” on
page 5-10. Another feature to solve application conflicts with the firewall is Universal Plug
and Play (UPnP), described in “Using Universal Plug and Play” on page 5-14.
