USER MANUAL
DMZ Screen
Purpose: Set up a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) to allow all incoming traffic to be forwarded to
a specific device (e.g., computer, phone, or game console) as if it were connected outside
of the router. If you are aware of the specific TCP and UDP ports that a service is using, we
recommend using port forwarding as an alternative.
Note: Firewall settings and Port Forwarding Rules supersede the
configured DMZ host.
Important: Because of serious security concerns, use this option only as a last resort.
