Tutorial: Configure Global NAT Behavior Settings⁠

Overview⁠

This tutorial explains how to configure the Global NAT behavior settings in Access Server. You will learn how to turn on or off NAT and specify interfaces or IP addresses for outgoing NAT operations.

Changing global NAT settings can be beneficial in the following scenarios:

• Firewall Logging: When you need to log VPN clients' private IP addresses as traffic passes through the VPN server to the firewall and then to the internet.

• Custom NAT Implementation: When implementing NAT behavior further in the connection chain before traffic goes to the public internet.

• Load Balancing: When specifying different IP addresses or a range of addresses for outgoing NAT operations.

• Multiple Network Interfaces: When needing to specify which network interface or IP address is used for outgoing NAT operations.

These adjustments help tailor the network behavior to specific administrative and security requirements.
