Section 3 - Configuration
If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you
can expose one computer to the Internet and run the application
on that computer.
Note: Placing a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer to
a variety of security risks. Use of this option is only recommended
as a last resort.
Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that you want to
have unrestricted Internet communication. If this computer obtains
it’s IP address automatically using DHCP, be sure to make a static
reservation on the Basic > DHCP page so that the IP address of
the DMZ machine does not change.
You may enable or disable the following listed VPN protocols.
