Set up the DMZ host
Warning:
The gaming DMZ host is not protected by the SVG2482AC firewall. It is
exposed to the Internet and thus vulnerable to attacks or hacking from any client
device 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 SVG2482AC 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 SVG2482AC Web Manager screen, click the
Advanced
menu link on the
SVG2482AC Web Manager
screen.
2. Click
DMZ
from the
Advanced
submenu links list to display the DMZ screen.
3. Click the
Enable DMZ
button to set up the DMZ Host on your home network.
