Masquerading vs SNAT?

NewImage over 11 years ago

Hi
I have been using Masquerading for allowing my internet users on the web get access to the internet, then using firewall rules to allow access.

Is there any advantage to Masquerading over just making a SNAT that looks like (LAN network -> any -> Internet IP4)? It sounds like that's all a masquerade is.

Hi,

I believe they are equivalent (assuming you use the Internet interface ADDRESS).

SNAT is more flexible if you have multiple interfaces, but for basic home use, I use MASQ.
