Episode 65: Network Address Translation and Proxy Usage

NAT and proxy servers play important roles in hiding internal IP addresses, enforcing access policies, and controlling traffic flow. In this episode, we explore how Network Address Translation (NAT) works to conserve IP space and obscure internal architectures. We also explain how proxies—forward, reverse, and transparent—support web filtering, anonymization, caching, and load balancing. You’ll learn how to implement these technologies securely, monitor their usage, and avoid common pitfalls. CISSPs must understand how to integrate NAT and proxy mechanisms into broader network defense strategies.
