For this example, we are going to open up an incoming connection to port
8080 for a web server running on 10.1.1.1 inside our network.
 
'''Please be aware that requesting a new configuration from the Control Pages will wipe these settings. We do not have a way to store these indefinitely.'''
 
== A: Open A Connection (setting up an ACL - "are we allowed in?") ==
Other settings of interest are:
* Order: there may be a rule of higher priority (lower order number here) that may override this rule.
* Source IP Address: it's possible to whitelistallow specific originating IP ranges (work, known friends, etc). Leaving this blank lets any IP in.
* Select Service: a set of predefined services and port mappings can be specified on the "Protocol" tab then picked from the drop-down here, rather than manually specifying 8080.
* Rate Limit: useful for throttling the amount of bandwidth needed, preventing connections from causing stuttering when streaming media or interrupting VoIP usage, for example.
 
== B: Setting a Port Forward rule ("where do we go?") ==
This is needed to route the incoming port connection through to. '''This part is only needed if you are doing NAT.'''
