The best place for Tanya to install a game server in her home network is within the DMZ.
Key takeaway: The DMZ or "demilitarized zone" is an area designated in a network that is partially exposed to an unsecure network such as the Internet. The DMZ is typically sectioned off securely with firewalls, the outside firewall called the front-end firewall allowing those ports open that are necessary for services on the devices in the DMZ to function, and the interior firewall called the back-end firewall will have much more secure settings, only letting through that traffic that is essential between those devices and the internal network. The DMZ is designed to add an additional level of security only allowing an attacker only external access to that separate segment.
