ProSafe Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N
LAN WAN or DMZ WAN Inbound Rule: Specifying an Exposed Host
Specifying an exposed host allows you to set up a computer or server that is available to
anyone on the Internet for services that you have not yet defined.
WARNING!
Do not set up an exposed host from a remote connection because
you will very likely lock yourself out from the wireless VPN
firewall.
 To expose one of the PCs on your LAN or DMZ as this host:
1. Create an
inbound rule that allows all protocols.
2. Place the rule below all
other inbound rules.
See an example in the following figure. (The inbound rule tha
t allows all protocols is disabled
in this figure.)
Figure 66.
WARNING!
For security, NETGEAR strongly recommends that you avoid
creating an exposed host. When a computer is designated as the
exposed host, it loses much of the protection of the firewall and is
exposed to many exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the
computer can be used to attack your network.
1. Select Any and Allow Always (or Allow by Schedule).
2. Place the rule below all other inbound rules.
