7. 4. 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 most applicable when you don't know which ports to open. When it is enabled, the DMZ host is totally exposed
to the internet, which may bring some potential safety hazards. If DMZ is not in use, please disable it in time.

How can I
do that?
Done!
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.
1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example
192.168.23.100.
2. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the password you
set for the Controller.
3. Go to Settings
Enable checkbox to enable DMZ.
4. Enter the IP address 192.168.23.100 in the
Address filed.
5. Click Save to save the settings.
The configuration is completed. You've set your PC to a DMZ
host and now you can join a team to game with other players.
