Virtual Server Settings (Port Forwarding)
Virtual Server (sometimes referred to as Port Forwarding) is the act of forwarding a
network port from one network node to another. This technique can allow an external user
to reach a port on a private IP address (inside a LAN) from the outside through a
NAT-enabled router. (Maximum 32 entries are allowed.)
