Explanation

Port triggering dynamically opens specific inbound ports only when outbound traffic on a defined trigger port is detected, and closes those ports again when the session ends. This allows games that require dynamic inbound connections to work without permanently exposing open ports-maximizing security. DMZ exposes a host to all inbound traffic, which is the least secure option. NAT is already active by default and does not specifically solve this. WPS is for easy device pairing and is unrelated to port management.
