6.3 DMZ

Introduction

The TG789vac v2 allows you to configure one local device as a De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) host. This means that:

• None of the TG789vac v2 firewall rules will be applied to the DMZ host

• All traffic originating from the Internet will be forwarded to the DMZ host unless there is a specific port forwarding rule

defined or automatically created for a specific type of traffic.

Use a static address for the DMZ host

Make sure that your DMZ host uses a static IP address (you choose a fixed IP address) instead of a dynamic IP address (the

DHCP server assigns an IP address). If you use a dynamic IP address, the device might get a new IP address after some time

and the port forwarding rule will no longer be applied to the device and another device may unexpectedly be acting as the

DMZ host.
