4.8 Service
4.8.1 DMZ
After setting the LAN DMZ (De Militarized Zone) host, the host will be fully exposed to the
WAN (Wide Area Network). This can provide unlimited two-way communication between the
LAN and WAN, usually for Web, FTP and mail servers. Just enter the LAN DMZ host IP
address, select “Enable DMZ” and click “Save”. Adding to the DMZ clients may give the local
network to bring insecurity, so Do not use this option.
 Enable: Selecting this checkbox enables the DMZ function.
 DMZ Address: Enter the DMZ host IP address. This provides unlimited access between the
computer on the local area network and the wide area network. This leaves the DMZ IP
address completely exposed to the WAN.
4.8.2 Virtual Server
Virtual hosting can allow remote LAN users to be automatically shifted to the local server. This
allows the use of a public IP address or FTP to access web services.
You can define a virtual server service port for external network services. All requests to this
port will be redirected to the designated router LAN server (specified by IP address), so users
outside of the network can successfully access the LAN server without affecting the internal LAN
network security.
