You can filter access to various applications accessed over the Internet, such as FTP or telnet, by selecting up
to two services to block in the
Blocked Services
section. The block services select list offers a choice of
preset applications. If you select a preset application, its port numbers and protocol are displayed and can not
be changed. If the application you want to block is not listed, select User-Defined, then you can enter the port
range and protocol for the service you wish to block. To remove the blocking, select “None” in the service list.

Single Port Forwarding
Application Name
. Enter the name of the application you wish to configure.
External Port
. This is the port number used by the server or Internet application. Internet users must connect
using this port number. Check with the software documentation of the Internet application for more information.
Internal Port
. This is the port number used by the Router when forwarding Internet traffic to the PC or server on
your LAN. Normally, this is the same as the External Port number. If it is different, the Router performs a “Port
Translation”, so that the port number used by Internet users is different to the port number used by the server or
Internet application.
For example, you could configure your Web Server to accept connections on both port 80 (standard) and port
8080. Then enable Port Forwarding, and set the External Port to 80, and the Internal Port to 8080. Now, any traffic
from the Internet to your Web server will be using port 8080, even though the Internet users used the standard
port, 80. (Users on the local LAN can and should connect to your Web Server using the standard port 80.)
Protocol
. Select the protocol used for this application, TCP and/or UDP.
IP Address
. For each application, enter the IP address of the PC running the specific application.
Enabled
. Click the Enabled checkbox to enable port forwarding for the relevant application.
Port Range Forwarding
Application
. Enter the name of the application you wish to configure.
Start
. This is the beginning of the port range. Enter the beginning of the range of port numbers (external ports)
used by the server or Internet application. Check with the software documentation of the Internet application for
more information if necessary.
