Enable SPI
SPI ("stateful packet inspection" also known as "dynamic packet filtering") helps to prevent
cyberattacks by tracking more state per session. It validates that the traffic passing through
that session conforms to the protocol. When SPI is enabled, the extra state information will be
reported on the Status -> Active Sessions page.
Enable DMZ
DMZ means "Demilitarized Zone." If an application has trouble working from behind the router,
you can expose one computer to the Internet and run the application on that computer.
Note:
Putting a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer to a variety of security risks.
Use of this option is only recommended as a last resort.
DMZ IP Address
Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that you want to have unrestricted Internet
communication. If this computer obtains its address Automatically using DHCP, then you may
want to make a static reservation on the
Basic -> DHCP
page so that the IP address of the
DMZ machine does not change.
