Is a good idea to put amule server in a dmz?

Installing and Using OpenWrt

In your opinion is more safe to put amule in a dmz (with access to outside but not to my lan) or in a separate network?

Please post output of

ubus call system board

from your OpenWrt router.

It is up to you to segment your network or not.

You can do micro-segmentation like one machine per /30 , it is a lot of hassle, but you be totally safe from fridge haking teapot and vice versa.

A DMZ network is just a separate network :slight_smile:

Assuming you mean the P2P file sharing software, then it depends entirely on your risk profile. If it's likely to get compromised, then yes I'd put it into a network that can only reach the internet but can be reached from your "internal" network.

If it's likely to end up with malicious content on it from external users, then how you limit your client access to that stuff is for you to decide.
