DMZ Hosting
Click DMZ Hosting from any Firewall screen to generate the
DMZ Hosting
screen.
The DMZ host feature allows one device on the network to operate outside the firewall
to use an Internet service that otherwise would be blocked, or to expose a networked
device to all services without restriction or security. To activate, click in the
Enable
radio button, then enter the device’s IP address in the appropriate text boxes.
Caution! A DMZ host is not protected by the firewall and may be
vulnerable to attack. Designating a DMZ host may also put other
computers in the local network at risk. When designating a DMZ
host, consider the security implications and protect it if necessary.
