 ===== DMZ =====
-On a more 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 more simple effect. When enabled, all unknown ports on FreshTomato's WAN are forwarded to the defined DMZ host IP, instead of each being dealt with individually. Consider DMZ a "lazy" and potentially dangerous approach to port forwarding, due to the large security hole it opens.
