The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to attack
networks. These ports appear to be “Stealth”, meaning that for all intents
and purposes, they do not exist to a would-be hacker. You can turn
the firewall function off if needed; however, while disabling the firewall
protection will not leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker
attacks, it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled.
Configuring Internal Forwarding Settings
The “Virtual Servers” function will allow you to route external (Internet)
calls for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21),
or other applications through your Router to your internal network. Since
your internal computers are protected by a firewall, computers outside
your network (over the Internet) cannot get to them because they cannot
be “seen.” You will need to contact the application vendor to find out which
port settings you need.
