Snat? Dnat? Wat wat?

hello all...

I'm struggling with the processes behind "port forwarding" in UTM9.

I've set up a load of services in 'Service Definitions' for WoW. e.g

WorldOfWarcraft1 TCP 1:65535 → 3274
WorldofWarcraft2 TCP 1:65535 → 6112:6114
...etc

These have all been put into a group called "WoW Ports".

How do i port forward these services to my network? I'm really confused as to whether i need SNAT, DNAT, FULL NAT? Or whether this kind of port forwarding should be done as a firewall rule.

I DON'T want to specify one particular PC on the network that these services should go to (like you typically would with an HTTP server say)... it might be any pc on the network.

Looking forward to getting it sorted properly... as currently i still have my Any --> Any --> Any firewall rule turned on as it's the only way i can get WoW to work properly!

out to the Internet and via versa ( from the Internet to your internal network.
Just create rules to allow them both ways

Hi,
Unless you're hosting a game, you only need OUTBOUND rules.

Thanks to you both for clearing that up for me.

Just supposing that i decide in the future to have only ONE pc on the network that would deal with this service...is that SNAT? or DNAT? or 1-1? Or Full-NAT?

Thanks [:)]
