DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)

If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application
properly from behind the firewall, 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 may
expose your local network to a variety of security risks, so only
use this option as a last resort.

Advanced Setup

DDNS (Dynamic DNS) Settings

Domain Name – A series of alphanumeric strings separated by

periods that maps to the address of a the Router network
connection and identifies the owner of the address.

Dynamic DNS provides users on the Internet with a method to tie
their domain name to the router or server. DDNS allows your
domain name to follow your IP address automatically by having
your DNS records changed when your IP address changes.

The section also has a “Server Configuration” section that
automatically opens the port options checked in the Virtual
Server section. Simply enter in the IP Address of your server,
such as a web server, and then click on the port option “HTTP
Port 80” so users can access your server from the WAN
connection (Internet).

site, and more at your own location even if you have a dynamic
