DMZ hosting is used to support online gaming and Internet conferencing services.
These programs usually require multiple open ports, making the network acces-
sible from the Internet. DMZ hosting symbolically places the DMZ host computer
outside of the Gateway’s network. We recommend activating DMZ hosting only as
long as necessary.
When finished with this screen, click Apply to save the changes.

Warning: The DMZ Host computer will be vulnerable to com-
puter hackers on the Internet while in DMZ mode.
