6.2 Disabling the firewall
The DMZ or DeMilitarized Zone is a zone between the Internet and your local network.
Computers that are placed in the DMZ are reachable from the Internet. Therefore the
DMZ is often used for servers that are hosting web sites. People that frequently play
online games also often place their computer in a DMZ. It is however recommended to
install a software based firewall on the computer when placing it in a DMZ, because
the DMZ opens all ports to the computer. There are no restrictions on data traffic,
even though in some situations this is preferable.
