Intelligent replies?
That would be you should know you can't do what you're trying to do with
cheap routers.
That would be you expose the WEB server in the DMZ with the WEB server
and O/S locked down and harden to attack. But I know you don't know what
it means.
Or you use one router to expose it to the Internet with port forwarding.
And the O/S, file system, user accounts, registry and the WEB server
harden to attack, which you don't know about any of it.
Or if you're not using MS and Linux instead, then something similar
would need to happen to lock the WEB server and O/S down.
You're another *clueless* home user trying to put up WEB site at home
and you're are or will be flat-out hack bait.
That's your intelligent reply.
