Connecting A Private Network To The Internet Using Nat/Route Mode - Fortinet FortiGate 1U Quick Start Manual

Connecting a private network to the Internet
using NAT/Route mode
In this example, you will learn how to connect and configure a new FortiGate unit
to securely connect a private network to the Internet. Typically, a FortiGate unit is
installed as a gateway or router between a private network and the Internet, where
the FortiGate operates in NAT/Route mode in order to hide the addresses of the
private network from prying eyes, while still allowing anyone on the private network
to freely connect to the Internet.
