ProSafe Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N
IPv4 LAN WAN or IPv4 DMZ WAN Inbound Rule: Specifying an Exposed Host
Specifying an exposed host allows you to set up a computer or server that is available to
anyone on the Internet for services that you have not yet defined.
WARNING:
Do not set up an exposed host from a remote connection because
you will likely lock yourself out from the wireless VPN firewall.
To expose one of the computers on your LAN or DMZ as this host:
1. Crea
te an inbound rule that allows all protocols.
2. Place the ru
le below all other inbound rules.
See an example in the following figure.
Figure 84.
WARNING:
For security, NETGEAR strongly recommends that you avoid
creating an exposed host. When a computer is designated as the
exposed host, it loses much of the protection of the firewall and is
exposed to many exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the
computer can be used to attack your network.
1. Select Any and Allow Always (or Allow by Schedule).
2. Place the rule below all other inbound rules.
