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. In the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen, 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 and specify that name in the

Dynamic DNS screen of the router.

Dynamic DNS makes it much easier to access a server from the Internet because you

can type the name in the Internet browser. Otherwise, you must know the IP address that

the ISP assigned, which typically changes.
