Configuring DMZ Settings
If you have a local client computer that cannot run an Internet application properly behind
the NAT firewall, you can configure it for unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining it
as a Virtual DMZ host. Adding a client to the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) may expose your
local network to various security risks because the client is not protected, so use this option
as a last resort.
To access the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) menu, click
Firewall
in the menu bar and then click
the
DMZ
submenu in the menu bar. Figure 35 shows an example of the menu.
