[@bradt5426]

How does he do it 😮

[@imjoshwa]

Your explanation of Stateful vs. Stateless finally helped me to understand them. Thank you!

In simple terms NAT is used to convert ur ip address into ur routers ip address , this is done because ipv4 which is a 32 bit ip address is limited and exhausted . Ur private ip address is not recognized by google so ur router does the talking to the internet. It is like a cell phone which allows u to talk to google.So ur private ip address is converted into the internet ipaddress with the help of net masking which u can see on seeing ifconfig which shows that ur private ip address is converted into the routers ip address. Basically when u buy internet connection you are buying an ipaddress that can talk to the world.Ur ISP has globally bought a range of ip address from IANA and it is giving u an ipaddress. So all the devices which access internet from ur home would actually be converted into the routers ip address in ur router and those packets are shoots up into the net.So ur router does the working of a postman when it receives reply from google and internally unmask the ipaddress to determine who was the person who send that request.

Nice video, thanks for sharing

[@maniac1979]

No one noticed that this dude writes everything mirrored and with the wrong hand? :D Very good job!

[@IBMTechnology]

Hi Lukas! We actually used a little trick. 😉 We shared some behind the scenes of our videos on the Community page, check it out here 👉

[@hawktalon7785]

@@IBMTechnology I'm so happy you guys shared that, I was trying so hard to focus on the subject but was so distracted with the thoughts of "how is the picture not backwards" hahaha. My curiosity has been satiated.

[@chesshooligan1282]

The NAT forwarding table is missing from this explanation.

[@chrisbowen2093]

WHAT program are you using to do that. Reminds me of some of the work I did in the Army two lifetimes ago, when the Pathfinders WERE the GPS of the Army and we plotted movements on topographical maps.

[@adamm6051]

Yeah a good video indeed. Thank you!

[@tangaucheplease9621]

[@katipkilic1723]

Thank u easy explanation and also take care of your eyes. :)

[@Adhithyan3333]

Great explanation!
Is NAT is possible for private to private network communication as well?

[@ankushsinha8301]

Adhithyan V yes

[@johnwhite7700]

Over DDNS and port forwarding, but if there is not more than one NAT on each side. Also, you can connect through VPN

[@sohrabsheykhmohammadi1909]

realy helpful.

[@abdullahalshahrani8648]

You are amazing ❤

[@danilsmith2845]

I have question please, does the NAT affect on firewall throughput?

[@user-ul3ms1og2f]

if a packet comes from internet then my router can just send it to my private ip address why Mac address is needed then

[@---GOD---]

"Maybe they figure out the key - heh" LOL
