Firewall - DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)
The DMZ hosting feature allows local PCs to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service
such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to the
local PC. The Virtual Server or Special Application feature is more secure because it only opens the ports
you want to have opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of local computer, exposing the computer
so the Internet can see it.
To enable DMZ hosting, select the public IP address (which is Router’s WAN IP address) and enter the IP
address of local computer used for DMZ host.
