Using NAT
NAT (Network Address Translation) functions by transforming the private
IP address of packets originating from hosts on your LAN so that they
appear to be coming from a single public IP address, and by restoring
the destination public IP address to the appropriate private IP address
for packets entering the private network. The multiple PCs on your LAN
would then appear as a single client to the WAN interface.
