DMZ Panel

DMZ stands for “demilitarized zone.” You can select one computer to receive all unsolicited incoming connections.

The IP address of the DMZ is the default recipient of incoming packets (from the Internet) that are not handled by port forwarding rules, port triggering rules, or NAT’d connections:

1.If port forwarding, port triggering, or both are enabled, incoming traffic is routed according to the port forwarding rules, port triggering rules, or NAT’d connections.

2.If incoming traffic was not routed as a result of the above:

If DMZ is enabled, then incoming traffic is routed to the computer that uses the IP address specified by the DMZ settings.

If DMZ is not enabled, the incoming traffic is blocked.

Note: Putting a computer in the DMZ opens all the ports of that computer, and exposes that computer to various security risks. Use this option only as a last resort — if possible, use other options instead (for example, port forwarding or port triggering).
