IPtables and NAT
Hi all
I'm a noob reading the Iptables 1.2.2. tutorial at
http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net. I can see that it's based on an older version of Iptables. There is also a discussion of NAT in there as well. How prevalent is NAT now? |

NAT is still widely used today, especially with private IP addressing.

Well if you don't have your own sub-net and you have a network then you'll need NAT. Unless you already have IPv6.
