Make Applications Free from Port Restriction by

DMZ

When a PC is set to be a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host in the local network, it is totally

exposed to the Internet, which can realize the unlimited bidirectional communication

between internal hosts and external hosts. The DMZ host becomes a virtual server with

all ports opened. When you are not clear about which ports to open in some special

applications, such as IP camera and database software, you can set the PC to be a DMZ

host.

Note:

DMZ is more applicable in the situation that users are not clear about which ports to open. When it is enabled, the

DMZ host is totally exposed to the Internet, which may bring some potential safety hazard. If DMZ is not in use,

please disable it in time.
