I'm sure some are but he specifically said the WAN port is DSL.

I need more than that. I run twp web servers, so simply forwarding port 80 to somewhere is not going to cut it. I need multiple, public IPs to show.

That sounds like what I need.

? "Them' meaning IPs? You can block given ports and incoming IPs from reaching your network IPs?


I have a /28 subnet. When configuring machines on my subnet, I use xx.xx.xx.129 as the gateway address. If I have my own router, will this be the address of the LAN port on it?
