Set Up the DMZ Host

WARNING

!

The gaming DMZ host is not protected by the SBG6782-AC

gateway firewall. It is open to communication or hacking from any computer on
the Internet. Consider carefully before configuring a device to be in the DMZ.


You can configure one computer to be the DMZ host. This setting is generally used for
computers using problem applications that use random port numbers and do not function

correctly with specific port triggers or the port forwarding setups. If you set up a computer as a
DMZ Host, set this back to zero when you are finished with the needed application, since this
computer will be effectively exposed to the public Internet, though still protected from Denial of

Service (DoS) attacks via the Firewall.
To create the DMZ Host:
1. Click Advanced on the SBG6782-AC Main Menu.
2. Click DMZ Host from the Advanced submenu options.
