Then yes,  webten has no probs. It's just a matter of Router 
hard-soft (webten does not "know" if an address is public or private) 
It's about matching profiles.

80; 81;   84 for local admin; 20 ftp-data File TransferDefaut Data; 
21 ftp -File Transfer Control; 23 Telnet;
69 tftp Trivial File Tranfer;  115 sftp simple ftp)
The list could be longer, depends on what your server has to do. 
(https on 443; timbuktu on 407 as Mauro pointed out;  more if you do 
mail serving and then possibly a few specific your router needs and 
possibly on 49 login -Login Host Protocol).

But as I wrote I'm a beginner in this area of work. It could be 
useful to look for a table of standard port function and number. If I 
come acros one I sent you the link.

Hope it helps.
