- Automatic outbound NAT for Reflection: `Enabled`
*extra info:*<br>
Many consider NAT reflection a hack that should not be used or even allowed.<br>
That the correct way is split DNS, where you maintain DNS records so that
`a.example.com` points directly to some local 192.168.0.12 IP address.<br>
Reason being that since DNS records are cached, this way machines on LAN,
that use hostname to access each other, are not hitting the firewall with
every traffic that goes between two machines on LAN side.
But IMO in small scale selfhosted setup its perfectly fine and it requires
far less management.
