Allowing all Applications (DMZplus)
DMZplus is a special firewall mode that is used for hosting applications. When in the DMZplus mode,
the designated computer:
• Appears as if it is directly connected to the Internet.
• Has all
unassigned TCP and UDP ports opened and pointed to it.
• Can receive unsolicited network traffic from the Internet.
Caution: Use the DMZplus mode with caution! A computer in the DMZplus
mode is less secure because all available ports are open and all incoming
Internet traffic is directed to this computer.
