Example: How to create and delete a Virtual Server rule
An example of how port triggering works, when a client behind a NAT router connecting to Aim Talk, it
is a TCP connection with the default port 4099.
When connecting to Aim Talk, the client typically makes an outgoing connection on port 4099 to the
Aim Talk server, but when the computer is behind the NAT, the NAT silently drops this connection
because it does not know which computer behind the NAT to send the request to connect.
So, in this case, port triggering in the router is working, when an outbound connection is attempted on
port 4099 (or any port in the range set), it should allow inbound connections to that particular
computer.
