Defining an Exposed Host
The Safe@Office appliance allows you to define an exposed host, which is a
computer that is not protected by the firewall. This is useful for setting up a
public server. It allows unlimited incoming and outgoing connections
between the Internet and the exposed host computer.
The exposed host receives all traffic that was not forwarded to another
computer by use of Allow and Forward rules.
Warning - Entering an IP address may make the designated computer
vulnerable to hacker attacks. Defining an exposed host is not
recommended unless you are fully aware of the security risks.
