3.4.3.4 DMZ Host

The DMZ host feature allows one local computer to be exposed to the Internet.

You can set up a client in your local network to be the DMZ host. Your device

then forwards all incoming data traffic from the Internet to this client. You can, for

example, operate your own Web server on one of the clients in your local network

and make it accessible to Internet users. As the exposed host, the local client is

directly visible to the Internet and therefore particularly vulnerable to attacks (for

example, hacker attacks). Activate this function only when necessary (for

example, to operate a Web server) and when other functions (for example, port

forwarding) are inadequate. In this case, you should take appropriate measures

for the clients concerned.

Note:

Only one PC per public IP address can be set up as an Exposed Host.
