Let's say I have the following setup, and a customer, who wants a public static IP, is connected to M0n0wall, by a PTP wireless system. Internet > M0n0wall (with 1:1 NATing) > PTP wireless system > customer router (NATed with private static IP on wan) > switch > rest of customer network Just think of the bridged wireless system, as a long Ethernet cable. I understand that with 1:1 NATing, the customer would have a private static IP address on the WAN port of his router.and I would have to configure a public static IP in the 1:1 NATing section of my M0n0wall. Wouldn't this 1:1 NATing allow the customer to remote into his network, just the same as if the my M0n0wall was in bridge mode and the customer had a public static IP address on the WAN port of his router? But, I have heard that some applications on the customer's computer (that he might try to access remotely.maybe via VPN), may not work properly, unless the WAN port of the customer's router actually had a public static IP address. I'm not sure how true that is. I hope it isn't true, since it seems that 1:1 NAT would be better then operating my M0n0wall in bridge mode. So I could use some comments on this. I would think that 1:1 NATing would even have some advantages, such as the inherent security of NAT. Thanks for any comments on this. |
