Set Up the DMZ Host
WARNING!
The gaming DMZ host is not protected by the SBG7580-AC firewall. It is exposed to
the Internet and thus vulnerable to attacks or hacking from any computer on the Internet.
Consider carefully before configuring a device to be in the DMZ.
You can configure one computer on your home network to be the DMZ Host. That computer
will operate outside of the SBG7580-AC firewall and allow remote access from the Internet to
your computer, gaming device, or other IP-enabled device. The DMZ Host feature will only
allow outside users to have direct access to the designated DMZ Host device and not your
home network.
To create the DMZ Host:
1.
From any SBG7580-AC Web Manager screen, click the
Firewall
main
menu button
on the
SBG7580-AC Web Manager menu bar.
2.
Click
DMZ
from the
Firewall
submenu options list to display the DMZ Settings screen.

, when you are finished.
Note:
Remember to reset the IP address back to 0 (zero) to close all the ports when you

computer will be exposed to the public Internet.
Note:
To disable the DMZ Host, deselect (uncheck) the
Enable DMZ
checkbox and then
