Set Up the DMZ Host
WARNING! The gaming DMZ host is not protected by the SBR-AC1200P <SBEProductType>
firewall. It is exposed to the Internet and thus vulnerable to attacks or hacking from any
computer on the Internet. Consider carefully before configuring a device to be in the DMZ.
You can configure one computer on your home network to be the DMZ Host. That computer
will operate outside of the SBR-AC1200P firewall and allow remote access from the Internet to
your computer, gaming device, or other IP-enabled device. The DMZ Host feature will only
allow outside users to have direct access to the designated DMZ Host device and not your
home network.
To create the DMZ Host:
1.
Click
Advanced
on the SBR-AC1200P Main Menu bar.
