DMZ Hosting

Click DMZ Hosting from any Firewall screen to generate the DMZ Hosting screen.
The DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) host feature allows one device on the network to
operate outside the firewall to use an Internet service that otherwise would be blocked,
or to expose a networked device to all services without restriction or security.
Caution! A DMZ host is not protected by the firewall and may be
vulnerable to attack. Designating a DMZ host may also put other
computers in the local network at risk. When designating a DMZ
host, consider the security implications and protect it if necessary.
To designate a local computer as a DMZ host:
1. Click in the Enable radio button to activate DMZ hosting.
2. Select a networked device by selecting it from Select Device drop-down list, or
enter its IP address in the "Enter IP Address" text box.
3. Click Apply to save your changes.
The DMZ host will be displayed in the DMZ Hosted Device table at the bottom of
the screen. Only one device at a time on the Gateway's network can be designated
as a DMZ host.
