I've a few questions'bout NAT.
1stly, can NAT exists without a host pc?
2nd, NAT can prevent malicious activity from attacking the pc behind NAT. May I know why is this?
3rd, will the host pc get attacked by the malicious activity instead of the pc behind NAT, which is the initial target?
Hope u can kindly help to answer my questions. Thank u. ^^

NAT will stop attatcaks to a node PC. so the Host (Normally a Router) will just bouce things back and pass what it needs to the None PC. also another reson to use NAT is so that you can use a single EXTERNAL ip if you had lots of external ips it would cost a bomb. but you can have as many internall or class C address as you like (192.168.0.1 etc.)

If the host is a pc, will the attack affects the host pc?
