Can you please explane me (in general) how the router (which
is the node between LAN & Internet in my case) knows which
server & port I'm addressing in LAN?

I feel that I now have less data specified at my client config to
accomplish the connection with router and further with the
service in LAN.

I only have IP & Port which should be entered in config to
connect to server. I suppose that I must somehow supply
IP&Port of server, but how can I address the router at the
first place?

Can you please tell me more about this concept?



Best regards,
Vladimir Stefanovic
