NAT
Network Address Translation is a method for disguising the private IP addresses you use on your LAN as the
public IP address you use on the Internet. You define NAT rules that specify exactly how and when to translate
between public and private IP addresses.
NAT is enabled by default. You can enable or disable NAT by selecting the Enable or Disable option in the
configuration menu and submitting the settings.
