The Virtual Server screen allows you to manage the virtual server settings of 
the GN-BR02G.    There are two virtual server options:    1. The router has only 
one IP address or, 2. The router has multiple IP addresses (8 or 16 in most 
instances). If you have only one IP address click on the PPPoE/DHCP/Static 
tab. If you have multiple IP addresses, click on the PPPoE Unnumber tab. The 
DMZ Support tab allows you to enable a Demilitarized Zone (Zone) on your 
network.  
 

 

 

 
With a firewall setup, it sometimes necessary to place some clients (e.g. 
Internet games, video conferencing, or VPN connections) outside of the firewall 
while leaving the others protected.    You can do this using a Demilitarized Zone.   
The DMZ feature allows you to specify the IP address of the computer that will 
be placed outside the firewall of your network. Enter the IP Address of your 
computer (e.g. 192.168.1.2) into the LAN IP Address field and click the Submit 
button. 
 

Note: DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer 
designated as the default DMZ server loses much of the 
protection of the firewall, and is exposed to exploits from the 
Internet. If compromised, the DMZ server can be used to 
attack your network.
