Re: NAT

All what I need Leythos is to hide my IP from hackers.

You can't really do that.

Unless you upload files or surf through a proxy, and god only knows what
you are exposing to the proxy, there is no real means to hide your IP.

You need to understand that you don't need to HIDE your IP from hackers,
they don't care what YOUR ip is, only that they scan the net looking for
unsecured systems to use/compromise.

If you are secured then you don't need to worry - unless you're doing
something bad.

So, a simple NAT router, while still shows your PUBLIC IP, may hide your
internal IP, but it doesn't really hide you, it just blocks unsolicited
traffic from reaching you.

So, don't worry, unless you have people hunting you or you're breaking
the law, you don't need to hide your IP.
