DNAT is for SERVERS with private IP's. SNAT is for changing source IP addresses for special situations.
Masquerading is for letting CLIENTS on the private network access the internet on your public address. This is needed if you have more client machines than public IP's.

Been trying to setup a simple network for a week now, and about to give up on Astaro. Internal network is masq to ext interface. ftp and web servers on internal network are dnat to ext if. packet filter is set to allow all for testing. packet filter logs show no dropped packets when internet user tries to connect to server. Nothing happens at all when Internet user tried to connect to www or ftp servers. Nothing in logs, just a timeout on their side. Am I missing something? Is there another setup screen to open incoming access to servers?
I have also tried eth1_Interface for the incoming, but still doesn't work at all. The external ports stay stealthed to scans. Shouldn't they be open now?
I have the same question as the last post with 2 exceptions;
1. I only want to have an internal mail server accessable via pop3 (110) to the public
2. I followed the same steps as those taken above, BUT then I additionally setup these 2 packetfilter rules;
Any --- pop3 --- external interface --- allow
any --- pop3 --- mailserver --- allow
then when i do a telent xxx.com 110 I get a message that the host activley refused the connection? But I thought i just opened it up with the packet filter rules??
