Explanation

NAT modifies the source or destination IP addresses in IP packet headers as they travel across a network boundary. It allows multiple devices within a local network to share a single public IP address when communicating with external networks, thereby hiding the internal IP addresses of the devices from external entities. This process helps in enhancing security and privacy by obscuring the internal network structure and addresses from external visibility.
