If DMZ is enabled, then incoming traffic is routed to the computer that uses the IP address
l

computer to various security risks. Use this option only as a last resort — if possible, use other
options instead (for example, port forwarding).
Enable DMZ
Before you can use or configure DMZ, you must enable it.
