DMZ hosting is used to support online gaming and Internet conferencing services. These programs usually require multiple open ports, making the network accessi- ble from the Internet. DMZ hosting symbolically places the DMZ host computer outside of the Gateway’s network. Access to the network resources while DMZ hosting is active is blocked. Actiontec recommends activating DMZ hosting only as long as necessary.
Warning: The DMZ Host computer will be vulnerable to com- puter hackers on the Internet while in DMZ mode.
