Hi all, I bought an ASUS AC86U router because I want to run a VPN server in order to access my network securely. However I had the displeasure to learn that my ISP doesn’t permit their modem/router combo to go into bridge mode.
Now my understanding is that I can put the router behind the modem’s DMZ.This would essentially save me from port forwarding on both the router and the modem.
My question is: can I just disable NAT on the router and have my ISP modem/router do the NAT?... would this “neuter” some of the router’s capabilities? I know it’s a decently fancy router with a fast processor and I want file transfers to continue to be speedy throughout my private network. Any negatives from doing this??
thanks!
