highly recommended to leave them to a trained professional:

Sample value
Explanation
1. Disable NAT

Override MAC address of the WAN interface. If your ISP gives you
a static IP address it might also bind it to your computers MAC

field you can enter your computers MAC address and fool the
gateway in thinking that it is communicating with your computer.

of a data packet.
