Multi DMZ This feature allows each WAN port IP address to be associated with one (1) computer on your LAN.
All outgoing traffic from that PC will be associated with that WAN port IP address. Any traffic sent to
that IP address will be forwarded to the specified PC, allowing unrestricted 2-way communication
between the "DMZ PC" and other Internet users or Servers.
Note:
The "DMZ PC" is effectively outside the Firewall, making it more vulnerable to hacker attacks or other
intrusions. For this reason, you should only enable the DMZ feature when required.
