Yes, I read the help page, but to me that is still a bit unclear,
and doesn't really answer my question. :-(
Like I said, there seems to be no real difference between
application forwarding and port forwarding other than:
1) port forwarding targets a single computer
while application forwarding doesn't.
- for that matter, can the IP address in port
forwarding be wild carded?
2) There's the trigger that potentially allows remapping
of a port to a different port. In this case I don't care
about that so they are set to the same value.
Assuming you can wild card port forwarding, I see no real
difference between the two if configured as I described in
#2.
Virtual server is closer to the definition of port forwarding
since it too will target s specific IP address, not what I want
to do with a VPN. Or rather not how I want to configure my
network.
Is there any other difference between them?

From reading the help menus, there seems to be no real
difference in the outcome between the two. If I open a port
with an application rule, how is this different than port forwarding
other than
