DMZ Host
The demilitarized military zone (DMZ) host feature allows one local computer to be exposed to the Internet. This function is applicable for:
= Users who want to use a special-purpose Internet service, such as an on-line game or video conferencing program, that is not presented in the port forwarding list
and for which no port range information is available.
= Users who are not concerned with security and wish to expose one computer to all services without restriction.
Note: A DMZ host is not protected by the firewall and may be vulnerable to attack. This may also put other computers in the home network at risk. Hence, when
designating a DMZ host, you must consider the security implications and protect it if necessary.
