Application Example: Make a Local Web Server Public

If you host a web server on your local network, you can use port forwarding to allow
web requests from anyone on the Internet to reach your web server.
To make a local web server public:
1. Assign your web server either a fixed IP address or a dynamic IP address using DHCP
address reservation.
In this example, your router always gives your web server an IP address of
192.168.1.33.
2. On the Port Forwarding page, configure the router to forward the HTTP service to
the local address of your web server at 192.168.1.33.
HTTP (port 80) is the standard protocol for web servers.
3. (Optional) Register a host name with a Dynamic DNS service (see Set Up and Manage
Dynamic DNS on page 164) and specify that name on the Dynamic DNS page of the
router.
