The DMZ Tab
The DMZ feature allows you to specify the IP address of the computer that will
be placed outside the firewall of your network.
Figure 6-11 – DMZ setup
With a firewall setup, it is often necessary to place some clients outside of the
firewall while leaving the others protected.
You can do this using a
Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) to test or configure some applications (e.g. Internet
games, video conferencing, or VPN connections) or create a server connecting
to the Internet through the Intranet.
Enter the IP Address of your computer
(e.g. 192.168.1.2) into the LAN IP Address field and click the
Submit
button.
Note: DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer
designated as the default DMZ server loses much of the
protection of the firewall, and is exposed to exploits from the
Internet. If compromised, the DMZ server can be used to
attack your network.

The Firewall Rule Screen
The Firewall Rule screen displays your network security settings. Use this
screen to quickly create network security policies to prevent unauthorized
access to your network.
The VPN Pass Through Tab
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a type of secured private network connection,
built upon publicly-accessible infrastructure such as the Internet. They usually
provide connectivity to various devices behind a gateway or firewall.
The GN-BR01 supports Internet-industry standard technologies to provide open
and interoperable VPN solutions, including Internet Protocol Security (IPSec)
and Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
(PPTP).
PPTP Pass Through setting
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) allows you to establish a connection
to an enterprise network. To allow PPTP tunnels to pass through the Router,
click Enable and key in the Router’s IP address.
IPSec Pass Through setting
IP Security (IPSec) provides authentication and encryption. Since it is mainly a
Layer 3 technology, it can secure all data on the network.
To allow IPSec
tunnels to pass through the Router, click Enable and key in the Router’s IP
address.

The DNS Configuration Screen
Figure 6-13 – DNS Config screen
DNS Relay
DNS Relay will set your PC's DNS entries to point to the Router’s
Gateway address, which will then forward DNS queries to the DNS
server used by the Router.
This is needed when using DHCP to
assign IP address to the PC’s in you LAN. The default value of DNS
relay is
Enable
.
Dynamic DNS
The AirCruiser G Wireless Router offers a
Dynamic Domain Name
Server
(DDNS) service that allows you to assign a fixed host and
domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address. This gives Internet
users the ability to connect with a virtual sever using a FQDN, rather
than with an IP address. Before using this feature, you must first
register an account with the dynamic DNS service.

Service Provider
From this pull down menu, enter the DDNS service with which you
