Q: When do we need to configure DMZ host:
A：
1. Do not know the port number of some kinds of application servers, and then can’t set port mapping. Such as network cameras, some database software, etc., then you can open the DMZ host.
2. Can’t play some games when the normal operation (e.g. StarCraft) and you can land normally, but can’t field a team, then you can open the DMZ host.
3. Some special sites can not open or can’t operate normally, such as certain online banking can’t be transferred, can‘t enter the verification code, etc., and you can also try to open the DMZ host.
