I'm coming from this question: https://superuser.com/questions/359799/how-to-make-freebsd-box-accessible-from-internet
I want to understand this whole process of port forwarding
.
I read so many things, but am failing to understand the very basic concept of port forwarding itself.
What I have:
a freebsd server sitting at my home.
netgear router
This is what I am trying to achieve:
to be able to access freebsd server from a windows machine over internet to be able to open a webbrowser and access internet.
I also want to access this freebsd box from a ubuntu machine that I have.
It will be great if someone can please help me.
Here is the netgear router setup that I did for port forwarding.
