Any connections not related to that connection are ignored or blocked. | |

| Aug 24, 2023 at 16:00 | comment | added | yea im a noob | " that translation requires port forwarding to map a router's public IP:port combination to the server's private IP:port statically." a little over my head, i understand the idea of reverse NAT. not how it works though. Is there any way to put that in Lamens terms? If not, no worries. | |
