Port Forwarding or Virtual Server on router settings

[bentech 1]

Hi ,

 

On a router (DLINK DIR-825) , I have 2 menus for port forwarding :

 

-Virtual Server

-Port Forwarding

 

Which one to use ?

 

I was alwasy using Port Forwarding but I can see that some people are using Virtual Server.

 

Also , WEB port is usually 80 or 8080 ?

 

Thanks !

Since technically it is a server, just use virtual server. Dlink knows what the difference is, but it beats me.
