Is DMZ outside firewall?
The DMZ host feature designates one device on the home network to function outside of the firewall, where it acts as the DMZ while the rest of the home network lies inside the firewall. In some cases, a gaming console is chosen to be the DMZ host so that the firewall doesn’t interfere with gaming.
Why is DMZ not safe?
