Q: Configuration with NAT
I have an Airport Extreme that is currently set up in Bridge mode. When I run an ipconfig on my PC, I see a public IP. This doesn't feel secure to me.
Two questions:
- I tried to set up Airport Extreme in "Distribute a range of IP addresses" mode but I wasn't able to connect to the Internet. Where can I find some instructions on how to set up this device using NAT configuration where we use a bunch of private IP addresses internally and all computers/devices connecting to Airport Extreme get issued private IPs.
- Is there a built-in firewall in Airport Extreme? When in Bridge mode, are we completely exposed to the Internet? As I mentioned when I check my computer's IP, it appears to be a regular public IP address.
