DMZ

This feature, if enabled, allows the DMZ computer on your LAN to be exposed to all users on
the Internet.
• This allows almost any application to be used on the "DMZ PC".
• The "DMZ PC" will receive all "Unknown" connections and data.
• If the DMZ feature is enabled, you must select the PC to be used as the "DMZ PC".

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.
