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.
