The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) feature allows one network computer to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing.. DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to one computer.. The Port Range Forwarding feature is more secure because it only opens the ports you want to have opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one computer, exposing the computer to the Internet..
