Asus ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 [76/152] Virtual server port forwarding

4.5.4 Virtual Server/Port Forwarding

Port forwarding is a method to direct network traﬃ c from the

Internet to a speciﬁ c port or a speciﬁ c range of ports to a device

or number of devices on your local network. Setting up Port

Forwarding on your router allows PCs outside the network to

access speciﬁ c services provided by a PC in your network.

NOTE: When port forwarding is enabled, the ASUS router blocks

unsolicited inbound traﬃ c from the Internet and only allows replies

from outbound requests from the LAN. The network client does not

have access to the Internet directly, and vice versa.

To set up Port Forwarding:

1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN >

Virtual Server / Port Forwarding tab.

2. On the Enable Port Forwarding ﬁ eld, tick Yes .
