Configuring masquerading
You can configure the network address translation using the masquerading function.
Masquerading is a type of network address translation, in which the sender's address in the internal network is dynamically replaced with an address in the external network, depending on the address assigned to the interface. You can use the masquerading functionality if you need to spoof the parameters in the headers of IP packets for devices on the internal network or to hide an infrastructure behind one address. This will allow devices that reside in the internal network and do not have real IP addresses to send and receive IP packets from an external network.
To enable masquerading:
- In the menu in the left part of the web interface page, select the Network section.
- On the WAN tab, in the Broadcast settings subsection, toggle on Enable masquerading.
Masquerading will be applied only to the communication channel designated as main (external network or modem).
