Adding NAT Rules

The Basic rule: Performing 1:1 translations
The Basic flavor translates the private (LAN-side) IP address
to a public (WAN-side) address, like NAPT rules. However,
unlike NAPT rules, Basic rules do not translate the port numbers
in the packet header; they are passed through untranslated.
Therefore, the Basic rule does not provide the same level of
security as the NAPT rule.
