Firewall > Port forwarding [Adding a Port Forward]

What is a Port Forward?

A port forward is a form of Network Address Translation (NAT). Certain applications use special port numbers when traversing the internet. With a port forward you can filter out all traffic on that port and send it to a particular client on your internal network.

Using a port forward for a Web Server on your local network is a common example of a port forward use case.
