This option enables or disables Network Address Translation (NAT) service, which is a
standard that allows multiple computers on a private network to share a single IP
address.
VPN Passthrough
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a type of secured private network connection, built
upon a publicly-accessible infrastructure such as the Internet. They usually provide
connectivity to various devices behind a gateway or firewall.
IPSec Passthrough: IP Security (IPSec) provides authentication and
encryption. Since it is mainly a Layer 3 technology, it can
secure all data on the network. To allow IPSec tunnels to
pass through the Router, click ‘Enabled’.
PPTP Passthrough:
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) allows you to
establish a connection to an enterprise network. To allow
PPTP tunnels to pass through the Router, click ‘Enabled’.
L2TP Passthrough:
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is an extension of the
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol and is also used to
establish virtual private networks. To allow L2TP tunnels
to pass through the Router, click ‘Enabled’.
