Set up the DMZ host
Warning:
The gaming DMZ host is not protected by the G34/G36 firewall. It is
exposed to the Internet which makes it vulnerable to attacks or hacking from any
client device (e.g., computer or laptop) on the Internet. Consider carefully before
configuring a device to be in the DMZ.
You can configure one client device on your home network to be the DMZ Host. That client
device will operate outside of the G34/G36 firewall and allow remote access from the
Internet to your client device, gaming device, or other IP-enabled device. The DMZ Host
feature will only allow outside users to have direct access to the designated DMZ Host
device and not your home network.
To create the DMZ host:
1. From any G34/G36 Web Manager screen, click the
Advanced
menu link.
2. Click
DMZ
to display the Advanced DMZ screen.
