5.2.3.Redirecting Internet requests to a specific computer
To protect the computers on your network from any unwelcome Internet requests, you can create a
demilitarized zone (or DMZ) which will redirect these requests, on whatever port, to a specific computer. This
computer will process the requests according to the type (game server, FTP server…).
Although this operation allows you to protect the computers on the network, the computer to which the
requests are directed itself becomes vulnerable to attacks.
