Defining an Exposed Host
Chapter 9: Setting Your Security Policy 263
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.
To define a computer as an exposed host
1. Click Security in the main menu, and click the Exposed Host tab.
The Exposed Host page appears.
