7.2 DMZ Host

In some cases such as playing Internet games or holding video conferences,
you may need to have your computer completely exposed to external networks
for implementation of a bidirectional communication. To do so, set it as a DMZ
host. Note that you should assign a static (fixed) IP address to the PC designated
as a DMZ host (DHCP Server> DHCP Client List> DHCP Reservation (also known
as Static Assignment on some products)) before using the feature. Enter the
static IP address of the PC on your LAN which you want to set as a DMZ host.
Enabling DMZ host may expose your local network to potential attacks. So it is
advisable to use it with caution.
DMZ Host IP Address: Enter the IP address of computer on your LAN which you
want to set to be DMZ host.
Enable: Check/uncheck to enable/disable the DMZ host feature.
For example: To set a PC at 192.168.0.100 to a DMZ host for intercommunication
with another host on the Internet, configure the same settings as shown on the
screenshot on the device.
Note:
Once enabled, the DMZ host loses protection from device's firewall and
becomes vulnerable to attacks.
