DMZ
The Virtual Server Settings under Advanced Settings also enables one
computer to have full access to the Internet without the protection of the
firewall. This allows a computer to be exposed to unrestricted two-way
communication outside of your network.
To enable DMZ, click the checkbox to the left and select “All”. Then
type the IP address of the selected computer in the box provided. Click
the “Submit” button to save your changes.
Only one computer can use DMZ at a time. Please note that
enabling DMZ removes the protection of the firewall, which exposes
the computer to intrusion.
Use DMZ only when needed and not for extended periods of time.
In some circumstances with gaming, enabling DMZ may help the
game contact the maximum number of servers, which can improve ping
times. Once the game connects to the game server, disable DMZ to ensure
proper firewall protection.
