 On a sophisticated network, the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a specific area of the network where services are provided in a secure way. However, in FreshTomato, DMZ has a simpler effect. When enabled, all unknown ports on FreshTomato's WAN are forwarded to the defined DMZ host IP address, instead of each being dealt with individually.
-Since it opens a large security hole, consider DMZ a "lazy" and potentially dangerous approach to port forwarding. You are advised to use other port forwarding methods before resorting to DMZ.\\   \\ **Enable DMZ**: This turns the DMZ function on or off.
