They normally provide a DMZ capability to allow you to forward all input to a specific machine. I would highly recommend you not take that approach however. Find the ports required by your game, ( a search of the company's support site or googling for playing xyz behind firewall will probably get that info) then forward only those ports through your firewall to the designated PC. |
