Setting up a Server in Link Logger

When running a server Link Logger can flag the inbound traffic as an alert.  To configure Link Logger such that it knows the inbound traffic is expected and not an alert you must mirror your firewall port forwards in Link Logger.  For example if your running a web server on TCP port 80, then select Edit from the main menu and select the Alert Lists... option and once on the Alert Lists screen select the Port Forwarding tab.

Enter Port From and Port To as the port range forwarded.  In the case of a web server enter 80 for both.  The IP field is the IP Address of your Server or in the case of the Netgear Fx114y enter your WAN IP Address.  If the forwarded traffic is sent to any other IP Address it will be flagged as an alert.  Select the protocol and if you wish enter a Comment (maximum of 254 characters).  Press the 'Save Forward' button and all future server traffic will be flagged as normal within Link Logger.
