service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing.
DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to
one computer. The Port Range Forwarding feature is more
secure because it only opens the ports you want to have
opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one
computer, exposing the computer to the Internet.
Applications and Gaming > DMZ

configure the following settings:
