Allowing all applications
DMZplus is a special firewall mode that is used for hosting applications if an application will not operate properly using the “Allow individual application(s)” option. When in DMZplus mode, the designated computer:
•Shares your Router Address (the Intelligent Gateway IP address).
•Appears as if it is directly connected to the Internet.
•Has all of the unassigned TCP and UDP ports opened and pointed to it.
•Can receive unsolicited network traffic from the Internet.
Note: Although the DMZplus computer appears to Internet users as though it is directly connected to the Internet, it is still protected by your system firewall. All traffic is inspected by the firewall's Stateful Packet Inspection engine and all known hacker attacks continue to be blocked.
Because all filtered traffic is forwarded to the designated computer, DMZplus mode should be used with caution. In most situations, you can use the “Allow individual application(s)” option to support access from the Internet to applications on your network.
Note: DMZplus can only be configured for one computer on your local network at a time. To configure a computer on your network for DMZplus mode:
1.Select the computer to which you wish to have all data sent.
2.Click the Allow all applications radio button.
3.Click DONE.
4.Access the selected computer.
5.Confirm that the computer is configured for DHCP. If it is not, configure it for DHCP.
6.Restart the computer.
When the computer restarts, it receives a special IP address from the system and all unassigned TCP and UDP ports are forwarded to it.
