DMZ (De-militarized Zone) hosting (also commonly referred to as “Exposed Host”)
allows you to specify the “default” recipient of WAN traffic that NAT is unable to
translate to a known local PC. This can also be described as a computer or small
sub-network that sits between the trusted internal private LAN, and the untrusted
public Internet.
You may configure one PC to be the DMZ host. This setting is generally used for
PC’s using “problem” applications that use random port numbers and do not function
correctly with specific port triggers or port forwarding setups mentioned earlier. If a
specific PC is set as a DMZ Host, remember to set this back to “0” when finished with
the needed application, since this PC will be effectively exposed to the public Internet,
though still protected from Denial of Service (DoS) attacks via the Firewall.
