All outgoing traffic from the DMZ PC will be assigned the WAN IP address associated

with it, rather than the shared IP address on the WAN port. Note that ONLY the DMZ

PC will use the WAN (Internet) IP address you enter on this screen.

To use this feature:

Enter an IP address allocated to you by your ISP into the WAN IP address field.

Select

the

PC to be the DMZ PC for traffic sent to this IP address.

Enable this DMZ.

Note

The "DMZ PC" is effectively outside the Firewall, making it more vulnerable
to attacks. For this reason, you should only enable the DMZ feature when
required.
