Allowing all Applications (DMZplus)

DMZplus is a special firewall mode that is used for hosting applications if you cannot get an application to work properly using the “Allow individual application(s)” option. When in DMZplus mode, the designated computer:

•Shares your gateway’s IP address (Router Address).

•Appears as if it is directly connected to the Internet.

•Has all of the unassigned TCP and UDP ports opened and pointed to it.

•Can receive unsolicited network traffic from the Internet.

Although the computer in DMZplus mode appears to Internet users as though it is directly connected to the Internet, it is still protected by your system firewall. All traffic is inspected by the firewall’s Stateful Packet Inspection engine and all known hacker attacks continue to be blocked.
