Port forwarding

Forward TCP or UDP packets destined for an address on this device to another host address using destination NAT (DNAT).

Port forwards are implemented using network flow rules, and are set with rule priority 10. Use network flows directly if more complex matching or DNAT is required.

New Port forward items can be added.
