Setting Up A Default DMZ Host
The Default DMZ Server feature is helpful when using some online games and video conferencing
applications that are incompatible with NAT. The gateway is programmed to recognize some of
these applications and to work properly with them, but there are other applications that may not
function well. In some cases, one local PC can run the application properly if that PC’s IP address
is entered as the Default DMZ Host.

Note: For security, you should avoid using the Default DMZ Server feature. When a
computer is designated as the Default DMZ Server, it loses much of the protection
of the firewall, and is exposed to many exploits from the Internet. If compromised,
the computer can be used to attack your network.
