A DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a portion of a network that exists between two or more networks, typically a private network and the internet, where the outer network is less trusted and the inner network is more trusted. It is designed to provide an additional layer of security by creating a buffer zone where publicly accessible resources such as web servers can reside, while keeping the internal network safe behind firewalls. A proxy is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. A subnet is a logical partition of an IP network into smaller, more manageable parts. A firewall is a network security system that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. While a firewall is a critical component of a DMZ network, it is not a portion of the network itself.
