Multi-DMZ

If an application still cannot function correctly, try using the "DMZ" feature.

DMZ

This feature, if enabled, allows the DMZ computer on your LAN to be exposed to all users on the Internet.

The "DMZ" PC will receive all "Unknown" connections and data. This feature is normally used with applications which do not usually work when behind a Firewall.

The DMZ PC is effectively outside the Firewall, making it more vulnerable to attacks. For this reason, you should only enable the DMZ feature when required.

If Enabled, you must select the PC to be used as the "DMZ" PC.

Select the desired option

Disabled - DMZ is disabled.

Enabled- The selected PC is a standard PC on your LAN, but it will receive any "unknown" connections and data, as described above.

Multi-DMZ

This feature is only available if your ISP has allocated you multiple Internet IP addresses.

If you have multiple Internet IP addresses, you can assign one DMZ PC for each Internet IP address.

The "DMZ PC" will receive all "Unknown" connections and data received for the Internet IP address associated with it.

All outgoing traffic from the DMZ PC will be assigned the WAN IP address associated with it, rather than the shared IP address on the WAN port. Note that ONLY the DMZ PC will use the WAN (Internet) IP address you enter on this screen.
