This section will focus on what it is port forwarding and how to be configured well.

* Here you see how port forwarding works, and we will be doing something similar to that.

1. The ***source (Desktop)*** is sending a packet to the ***Destination (server)*** and is making a request throw port ***443***.
2. But the packet needs to arrive first to the router so the router can send the ***Desktop*** packet to the ***destination***. How? With ***Network Address Translation (NAT)*** we can use a **Private IP** Address millions of times all over the world inside our networks and still we can access to the Internet. Here, NAT provides the translation from Private IP Address to the **Public IP** Address. We are connecting Internet with our **Private IP Address**, but in real at the backplane, our router is connecting Internet via **Public IP Address**.
3. So, the packet arrive to the server and the server responds back.
