NAT
Network Address Translation (NAT) is a feature that can provide a level of security by
hiding the private IP addresses of your LAN behind the single public IP address of
your router. All connections must come through your router and be translated by NAT.
Network addresses on inbound traffic are translated from public to private IP
addresses, while addresses on outbound traffic are translated from private IP
addresses to the router’s public IP address, thereby concealing the private IP
addresses used on your Local Area Network (LAN). Network Address Translation can
provide a level of security by obscurity that is acceptable to many users. The NAT
Settings form is shown below.
