## Chapter 7 Traffic Policy

Traffic Policy belongs to of the basic WinRoute configuration. All the following settings are displayed and can be edited within the table:

- security (protection of the local network including the WinRoute host from Internet intrusions

- IP address translation (or NAT, Network Address Translation — technology which enables transparent access of the entire local network to the Internet with one public IP address only)

- access to the servers (services) running within the local network from the Internet (port mapping)

- controlled access to the Internet for local users

Traffic policy rules can be defined in Configurations → Traffic Policy. The rules can be defined either manually (advanced administrators) or using the wizard (recommended).

It is recommended to create basic traffic rules and later customize them as desired. Advanced administrators can create all the rules according to their specific needs without using the wizard.
