NAT Forwarding
10. 1. Share Local Resources on the Internet by Virtual
Servers
When you build up a server on the local network and want to share it on the internet,
Virtual Servers can realize the service and provide it to internet users. At the same time
Virtual Servers can keep the local network safe as other services are still invisible from
the internet.
Virtual Servers can be used for setting up public services on your local network, such as
HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3/SMTP and Telnet. Different services use different service ports.
Port 80 is used in HTTP service, port 21 in FTP service, port 25 in SMTP service and port
110 in POP3 service. Please verify the service port number before the configuration.
I want to:
Share my personal website I’ve built in local network with my friends through the internet.
For example, the personal website has been built on my home PC (192.168.0.100). I hope
that my friends on the internet can visit my website in some way. The PC is connected
to the router with the WAN IP address 218.18.232.154.
Personal Website
Home
Router
WAN: 218.18.232.154LAN
How can I do that?
1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example 192.168.0.100.
2. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for
the router.
3. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Virtual Servers.
4. Click Add. Click View Existing Services and select HTTP. The External Port,
Internal Port and Protocol will be automatically filled in. Enter the PC’s IP address
192.168.0.100 in the Internal IP field.
5. Click OK.
