Network Prefix Translation, shortened to NPTv6, is used to translate IPv6 addresses. A common usage for this
|
|
is to translate global ("WAN") IPs to local ones. In this regard, it is similar to NAT, although NPTv6 can only be
|
|
used to map addresses one-to-one, unlike NAT which typically translates one external IP to several internal ones.
|
|
|
|
NPTv6 routes are listed at :menuselection:`Firewall --> NAT --> NPTv6`. New rules can be added by clicking **Add** in the upper right
|
|
corner. A quick overview of the fields:
