9.3. DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)

If you are operating a web server, a mail server, or a web camera, you may want to expose that device to the Internet so

anybody can access it. When the DMZ function is enabled, the DMZ computer is exposed to all users on the Internet. It

can be accessed by both users on the Internet as well as users in the Local Network.

This feature is normally not used as it presents significant security risks to the device that you designate for the DMZ. The

DMZ device is not protected by the built-in firewalls, Internet filters, or router web filters, and is open to attacks from

hackers. The “DMZ PC” will receive all unknown connections and data.

If the DMZ feature is enabled, enter the IP address of the PC to be used as the “DMZ PC”. You should first configure this

device with a static IP address.

Note: For security reasons, you should only enable the DMZ feature when required.
