How do use Port Redirection ?

The Port Redirection Table may be used to expose internal servers to the public domain or open a specific port number to internal hosts. Internet hosts can use the WAN IP address to access internal network services. By using Port Redirection, dissimilarly from open ports, you can forward a different port to the port of your internal Server/PC. It is quite convenient while more than one internal server need to use the same port. For example, if there are 5 PCs with IP 192.168.1.10/11/12/13/14 in a LAN and we want to use Remote Desktop to control these 5 PCs, we will need to setup Port Redirections for these 5 PCs as the following figure:



Then we can access the PCs with Remote Desktop on TCP 11000,12000....15000 port of the router's WAN IP address.
