Configure the IPv4 Internet Connection and WAN Settings
To set up your wireless VPN firewall for secure IPv4 Internet connections, you need to
determine the IPv4 WAN mode (see the next section) and then configure the IPv4 Internet
connection to your ISP on the WAN port. The web management interface offers two
connection configuration options, discussed in the following sections:

Configure the IPv4 WAN Mode
By default, IPv4 is supported and functions in NAT mode but can also function in classical
routing mode. IPv4 functions the same way in IPv4-only mode as it does in IPv4 / IPv6 mode.
The latter mode adds IPv6 functionality (see Configure the IPv6 Routing Mode on page 36).
