What should be added to Port Forwards

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration

Hi,

Which of the firewall settings listed here should be listed under Port Forwards and which under Traffic Rules?

Thanks,

Aaron

Port forwards are exclusively for the purpose of outside (WAN) machines connecting to a specific machine withinin the internal network (LAN, excluding the router itself) by connecting to a specific port on the router (hence the name).

Everything else -- connections or restrictions between the outside, the router, and/or firewall zones -- is a traffic rule.
