Doesn’t My Operating System Already Have a Firewall? NAT Firewall protects you from these scans when you connect with VPN. Since your VPN connection isn’t shared, unrequested inbound scans are no longer rejected. However, VPN tunnels past your wireless router, giving you a dedicated connection to the Internet. When a wireless router receives an unrequested inbound scan, it doesn’t know which device should receive it, so the scan is rejected. Wireless routers use Network Address Translation (NAT) to share an Internet connection between multiple devices on a network. NAT Firewall is particularly important when you connect to the Internet through a wireless router. Why is NAT Firewall important to use with VPN? NAT Firewall blocks their scans from reaching your device or computer when you connect with VPN. Using these connections, they can install malware and steal your personal information. They gain access to your system through Internet connections left open by your applications.

Hackers and bots scan the Internet for unprotected devices they can exploit for identity theft and spamming. Because it runs on our servers, NAT Firewall protects any device connected to VPN.

No additional configuration or software is required. It blocks unrequested inbound traffic when you’re connected to VPN. NAT Firewall is an additional layer of security for your VPN connection.
