DMZ
9.3.1
Overview
You can set a certain computer as a DMZ Host to free the computer from any restriction in the
process of accessing the internet. Therefore, the DMZ Host can obtain better internet experience.
For example, a video meeting and online games can be smoother on a DMZ host.
When a computer is set as a DMZ host, it is completely exposed to the internet, which means that
the computer will not be protected by the firewall of the router.
A DMZ host can be easily used by hackers to attack the local network. Do not set DMZ host
randomly.
Security software, anti‐virus software and system firewall may affect the DMZ function. Please
disable these safety measures during the use of DMZ function.
