Connection Policy
Enter the appropriate values for TCP/UDP sessions as described in the
following table.
Note
The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we
advise enabling the prevention features to protect your network.
4.8.6 DMZ
If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly
from behind the firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted
two-way Internet access. Enter the IP address of a DMZ (Demilitarized
Zone) host on 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.
4.9 UPnP
UPNP (Universal Plug and Play) settings
With Universal Plug and Play, a device can automatically join a network,
obtain an IP address, communicate its capabilities, and learn about the
presence and capabilities of other devices. Devices can then directly
communicate with each other. This further enables peer-to-peer
networking.

4.10 DDNS
DDNS (Dynamic DNS) settings
DDNS text "Domain Name" is a series of alphanumeric strings
separated by periods that maps to the address of a 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 a computer 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 Server Configuration section automatically opens the TCP 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 web server from the
Internet connection.
This DNS feature is powered by a DDNS service provider. With a
DDNS connection you can host your own web site, email server, FTP
site, and more at your own location even if you have a dynamic IP
address. (Default: Disable)
4.11 TOOLS
Use the Maintenance menu to backup the current configuration, restore
a previously saved configuration, restore factory settings, update
