GAMING DMZ

Enable Gaming DMZ

Select this box to designate the selected computer or gaming device as the gaming DMZ
host. For more information, see “

Configuring a Gaming DMZ Host

”. This can be useful if you

have difficulties running certain applications, typically gaming applications.

(Gaming) DMZ Host

The gaming DMZ host is a computer with a reserved IP address designated as the default
DMZ host. Only one gaming DMZ host can be active at once.

The gaming DMZ host is not protected by the firewall. It is open to communication or hacking
from any computer on the Internet.
Consider carefully before configuring a computer to be in
the DMZ.

The benefit of using a gaming DMZ host instead of a NAT passthrough host is that a gaming
DMZ host does not require a public IP address as does a NAT passthrough host. If the
application requires a public IP address, configure the computer for NAT passthrough on the
