Immediate Alerts can be generated for both the email and Syslog alerts. To configure the type of Alert that you want to get:

-Attempts to access a blocked site – alert to any attempts to access a site or keyword listed in your URL/Blocking list.

DMZ Host (Demilitarized Zone)

If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the firewall, then you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access. Enter the IP address of a DMZ host to this screen. Adding a client to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) may expose your local network to a variety of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort.

To access the DMZ configuration page, on the Side Navigation bar, click on [Firewall] link and then click on the [DMZ] link.

To enable this option, click the [Enable DMZ Host] checkbox.

To configure a DMZ host, Enter in the LAN IP Address of the PC on your network in the input fields.
