To set up a De-Militarised Zone host

A De-Militarised Zone host, or DMZ host, is a separate neutral client sitting
between your private network and the WAN.

It initiates WAN connections upon request from your network clients, and
forwards the request packets. Similarly, outside users can access only the
DMZ host.

You can host Web pages or public information that can be served to the
outside world, on the DMZ host.
