security by preventing any host on the WAN to ping the Barricade.
Remote
Management – By default, management access is only
available to users on your local network. However, you can also
manage the Barricade from a remote host by adding the IP address
of an administrator to this screen.
Note: If you specify an IP address of 0.0.0.0, any host can manage
the Barricade.
Virtual
DMZ
Host – If you have a client PC that cannot run an
Internet application properly from behind the firewall or after
configuring the Special Applications function, then you can open
the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access. Enter the IP
address of a DMZ host to this screen. Adding a client to the DMZ
(Demilitarized Zone) may expose your local network to a variety
of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort.
