with other security measures such as a firewall, port filtering can enhance network security.

Your settings are saved.
Enable DMZ
In a demilitarized zone (DMZ) network configuration, a computer runs outside the firewall in the DMZ. This
computer intercepts incoming Internet traffic, providing an extra layer of protection for the rest of the network,
and sending all incoming data to a particular IP address.
To enable the DMZ and designate a computer to screen incoming traffic:
1.
From a computer that is connected to your network, launch a web browser.
2.
Enter http://192.168.1.1.
A login page displays.
