Applications & Gaming > DMZ

Use this page to configure an IP address whose ports are directly exposed to the public Internet or to the Wide Area Network (WAN). Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) hosting is commonly referred to as "exposed host," and allows you to specify a recipient of WAN traffic that Network Address Translation (NAT) is unable to translate to a known local PC.

A DMZ is typically used by a company that wants to host its own Internet server. DMZ allows one IP address to be placed on the Internet side of the gateway firewall while others remain protected behind the firewall.

The DMZ allows a device to be directly accessible to Internet traffic, such as a web (HTTP) server, an FTP server, an SMTP (e-mail) server, and a domain name system (DNS) server. Select the DMZ tab to open the Applications & Gaming DMZ page.
