Non local ip can be used as NAT simulation. Input public ip in "local ip", input local network ip to "to host". local network ip can be local computer ip or other computer ip.

It is not necessary to input public ip in network adapter (but enable bind non local network ip), Magic Router will help to bind the public ip on true adapter temporarily.

Starting listen port as 139 will stop file and printer sharing on local computer. If Magic Router stopped, the binded non local ip will be released.

Example:
222.123.34.56:80 point to 192.168.1.1:80 (Start with Magic Router config.1.txt)
222.123.34.57:80 point to 192.168.1.2:80 (Start with Magic Router config.2.txt)
See Agent Client for more flexible usage of non local ip.

Some notes on NAT
There is an alternative standard method of NAT like ip return.
1. Clear the NAT in hardware router.
2. Setup HOSTS file in local computer inside LAN, for desktop ONLY , no laptop,
3. Editing c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS, write a line at the end of HOSTS file.
192.168.1.10 http://www.YourDomain.com
4. http://www.YourDomain.com will direct point to local network without requesting WAN hardware router.

Why do we use HOSTS file instead of hardware router ?
1. If hardware router down, local computer will unable to access 192.168.1.10. Since NAT is needed to resolve by WAN hardware router.
2. HOSTS file is run locally on user computer, will never touch WAN hardware router.
3. Therefore NAT by local computer is much stable than translate by hardware router.
