LAN WAN or 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.
To expose one of the PCs on your LAN or DMZ as this host:
1. Create an inbound rule that allows all protocols.
2. Place the rule below all other inbound rules.
See an example in Figure 5-14 on page 5-26..
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.
