Proxy ARP settings
Proxy ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is a mechanism that enables a computer in a network
connected to a router appear to be logically part of another network connected to the same
router. This means that a computer on the router's LAN network can appear to be logically on
the WAN network, accessible using a public IP address. Note that although the computer
appears as part of the public network, it is actually protected behind the router's firewall on the
LAN network. That is, traffic between the public network and the host computer on the LAN is
still subject to the rules and policies configured on the router. A maximum of eight rules can be
defined.
