Opening the firewall for a selected PC (Exposed Host)

You can set up a client as an exposed host in your local network. Your device will then
forward all incoming data traffic from the Internet to this client. This will enable you, for
example, to operate your own Web server on one of the clients in your local network
and make it accessible to Internet users.
As an exposed host, your local client is directly visible on the Internet and therefore par-
ticularly exposed to risk (e.g. from hacker attacks). You should only activate this func-
tion where it is absolutely necessary (e.g. to operate a Web server) and where other
functions (e.g. port forwarding) are not adequate. In this case you should take appropri-
ate measures on the clients concerned.
Note:
Only one PC per public IP address can be set up as Exposed Host (see also the section
entitled "Port forwarding" on page 50.
ì
To set up a PC as an Exposed Host, select Exposed Host in the Address Translation
(NAT) menu.
ì
Enter the Local IP address of the PC that is to be enabled as Exposed Host.
ì
Enter a name for the PC in the Comment field.
ì
Enable the entry by selecting the option.
ì
Click on Add to add the entry to the list.
