Make Applications Free 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, which 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.
I want to:
Make the home PC join the internet online game without port restriction.
For
example, due to some port restriction, when playing the online games, you can log
in normally but cannot join a team with other players. To solve this problem, set your PC
as a DMZ with all ports opened.
How can I do that?
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 password or your TP-Link ID.
3 Go to
Advanced
4 Enter the IP address 192.168.1.100 in the
5 Click
Save
to save the settings.
Done!
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.
