6.5.3 Applications & Gaming > DMZ

DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) is a host without the protection of the router’s firewall. It
allows a computer to be exposed to unrestricted two-way communication with the
Internet. You should only use this feature when the Port Forwarding function fails to
make an application work.

Warning: Setting your computer as a DMZ host exposes it to various security vulnerabilities. This
feature should be used only when needed.
