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.
