NAT was designed to get around the IPv4 address shortage. Unfortunately it breaks things. For example, if you want to access a computer behind your firewall, you have to use port forwarding. That's fine for 1 computer, but what if you have 2 or more you want to access? It also gets in the way of some games and VoIP. It also breaks part of IPSec called Authentication Headers. AH are use to verify the headers are not tampered with, but guess what NAT does? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
