FIREWALL

In FIREWALL, you can set up firewall rules like port forwarding, open port and DMZ.

Port Forwards

Port Forwarding allows remote computers to connect to a specific computer or service behind the firewall in the local LAN (such as web servers, FTP servers, etc).

To set up port forwarding, click Port Forwardsand input the required parameters or click Add a New One.

Internal IP: The IP address assigned by the router to the device which needs to be accessed remotely.

External Ports: The numbers of external ports. You can enter a specific port number or a range of service ports (E.g 100-300).

Internal Ports: The internal port number of the device. You can enter a specific port number. Leave it blank if it is same as the external port.

Protocol: The protocol used, you can choose TCP, UDP, or both TCP and UDP.

Status: Activate of Deactivate the rule.

Open Ports on Router

The router's services, such as web, FTP and so on, require their respective ports to be opened on the router in order to be publicly reachable.

To open a port, click Open Ports on Router and input the required parameters or click Add a New One.

Name: The name of the rule which can be specified by the user.

Port: The port number that you want to open.

DMZ

DMZ allows you to expose one computer to the Internet, so that all the inbounds packets will be redirected to the computer you set.

Click DMZ and enable Open DMZ. Input the internal IP address (E.g. 192.168.8.100) of your device which is going to receive all the inbound packets.
