DMZ host 12.8
12.8.1
Overview
By default, internet users cannot access any service on any local host. If you want internet users to
access all services on a local host, enable this function. It is especially used for video conferences
and online games. You can set a local computer running these programs to be a DMZ host for better
video conferencing and online gaming experience.
If you set a local computer as a DMZ host, the computer is not protected by the firewall of the router
and may be easily attacked by internet users. Therefore, enable the DMZ host function only when
necessary.
Choose More > DMZ Host, and enable this function, the following configuration page appears.
