Free Applications from Port Restriction by DMZ

When a PC is set to be a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host in the local network, it is totally
exposed to the Internet. This can realize the unlimited bidirectional communication
between internal hosts and external hosts. The DMZ host becomes a virtual server with
all ports opened. When you are not clear about which ports to open in some special
applications, like IP camera and database software, you can set the PC to be a DMZ
host.
Note:
DMZ is more applicable in the situation that users are not clear about which ports to open. When it is
enabled, the DMZ host is totally exposed to the Internet, which may bring some potential safety hazard. If
DMZ is not in use, please disable it in time.

Make the home PC join the Internet online game without port
restriction.

online games, you can log in normally but cannot join a team

with all ports opened.
1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example
192.168.1.100.
2. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the username
(admin) and password (admin or the one customized by you).
3. Go to Advanced >

The configuration is completed. You've set your PC to a DMZ
host and now you can make a team to game with other players.
