DMZ

The Virtual Server Settings under Advanced Settings also enables one

computer to have full access to the Internet without the protection of the

firewall. This allows a computer to be exposed to unrestricted two-way

communication outside of your network.

To enable DMZ, click the checkbox to the left and select “All”. Then

type the IP address of the selected computer in the box provided. Click the

“Submit” button to save your changes.

Only one computer can use DMZ at a time. Please note that enabling

DMZ removes the protection of the firewall, which exposes the computer

to intrusion.

Use DMZ only when needed and not for extended periods of time.

In some circumstances with gaming, enabling DMZ may help the

game contact the maximum number of servers, which can improve ping

times. Once the game connects to the game server, disable DMZ to ensure

proper firewall protection.
