Central SNAT

NAT is a process used to modify or translate either the source or destination IP address or port in a packet header. The primary use for NAT is to allow multiple network devices on a private network to be represented by a single public IP address when they browse the Internet.

The FortiProxy unit applies the NAT settings from matching central Source Network Address Translation (SNAT) policies. Go to Policy & Objects > Central SNAT to create a central SNAT policy.

Hover over the leftmost edge of the column heading to display the Configure Table icon, which you can use to select the columns to display or to reset all the columns to their default settings. You can also drag column headings to change their order.
