Virtual server
Virtual Server helps you to direct network traffic from the internet to a specific port or a specific
range of ports to a device or number of devices on your local network. If you have a server in your
home network, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach the server. For example, you
might want to make a local web server, or FTP server visible and available to the internet.
Example
You have a FTP server (IP: 192.168.0.150) in your home network. When work in the company, you
want to visit the resources on the FTP server.
Configuration
1. Log in to the router’s user interface, and click Advanced Settings > Virtual Server.
2. Type the IP address of the computer that established the FTP server (192.168.0.105 here).
3. Select the FTP server default port (21), the extranet port will be auto-filled. If you select
Manual, you need to enter the extranet port manually, too.
4. Select a protocol. If you don’t know which protocol the server use, you can select TCP/UDP.
5. Click Add.
6. Click Save.
