4-2 DMZ
In computer networks, a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a computer host or small network inserted as a "neutral zone" between a company's private network and the outside
public network. It prevents outside users from getting direct access to computers on the local LAN.
The firewall protects computers on the local LAN from unauthorised access from computers on the ADSL WAN port or the Internet. However, some applications (such as
games) require a less secure network for them to interoperate. The DMZ settings allows a computer to be placed in this DMZ zone.
