SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on setting up Network Address Translation (NAT) on home routers, specifically mentioning Linksys routers, which are fully NAT-enabled out of the box. Users are encouraged to explore their router's admin settings, particularly the Port Forwarding feature, to configure NAT effectively. The conversation highlights Cisco's acquisition of Linksys and their influence on router security practices. Participants emphasize the importance of systematically tweaking router settings for optimal security and functionality.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Network Address Translation (NAT)
  • Familiarity with router admin settings
  • Basic knowledge of Port Forwarding
  • Experience with Linksys router models
NEXT STEPS

Most true routers are already locked down with most ports closed. Either way just look in the router admin settings for Port Forwarding or NAT. It's really easy.
 


Cisco bought Linksys several years ago. Cisco is a leader in router security. They spread their tactics throughout Linksys (whose tactics were already very good), in hopes of capturing the home market.

Linksys routers today are fully NAT out of the box. They're not high and tight, but no-one's routers are. Read the directions, ancilliary info you find online, and tweak your the snot out of your router's settings until it no longer works. Then, start from scratch and do it again, until you've locked down everything you can in a systematic process until you can't lock it down any further without loosing something you'd rather not do without.

The cool thing is, you'll learn a lot in the process.
