LAN WAN Inbound Rule: Specifying an Exposed Host
Specifying an exposed host allows you to set up a computer or server that is available to anyone on
the Internet for services that you have not yet defined.
To expose one of the PCs on your LAN as this host:
1.
Create an inbound rule that allows all protocols.
2.
Place the new rule
below
all other inbound rules.

Note:
For security, NETGEAR strongly recommends that you avoid creating an exposed
host. When a computer on your LAN is designated as the exposed host, it loses
much of the protection of the firewall and is exposed to many exploits from the
Internet. If compromised, the computer can be used to attack your network.
