Networking - NAT
Network Address Translation (NAT) translates multiple IP addresses on a private LAN to one public address that is sent out to the Internet by your ISP. This adds a level of security since the address of a PC connected to the private LAN is never transmitted on the Internet.
A gaming Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) allows one IP address (computer or device) to be exposed to the Internet for online game playing or video conferencing.
To access the screen, click Networking > NAT. Click Apply to save your settings or Cancel to cancel changes.
