Firewall
If you deselect the checkbox next to Enable firewall, the firewall will be disabled, but this is
not recommended. The firewall is used to block unauthorised users from accessing the
network or any of the network resources. A firewall is one of the most critical pieces of
security you can use in your network.
DMZ
The DMZ (Demilitarised Zone) is a computer that has all external Internet traffic forwarded
to it, such as a public Web server. This allows a computer to be exposed to unrestricted two-
way communication. This feature should be used with caution, since it removes the security
of the firewall for that computer.
If you want to specify a DMZ, enter the client computer's IP address. When you are
finished, click Save.
