The following lines were added (+) and removed (-):
NAT, or Network Address Translation, is a way of assigning additional non-routable IP addresses to an Internal network which packets are forwarded from a single external Internet routable IP address.  (One or more external routable IP addresses may be used.)NAT, or Network Address Translation, is a way of assigning additional non-routable IP addresses to an Internal network which packets are forwarded from a single external Internet routable IP address.  (One or more external routable IP addresses may be used.) Double NAT is a scenario where multiple routers on network are doing network address translation. Common example is a Cable or DSL modem, to which a Wi-Fi router is connected. Both modem and router have NAT enabled. Computers on the network are connected to Wi-Fi router.  Your ISP is not supposed to give you an already NAT address to your CPE (the router).  HughesNet is already using NAT on their side, giving all their customers a NAT address to their client premises router, which does NAT again, resulting in twice NAT. Hughesnet will not allow the customer to operate the router they install in pass-through mode.  The client is stuck with a double NAT setup which makes VPN nearly impossible.  If the client adds a wireless router the double NAT goes to a possible triple NAT situation. Double NAT is Double Routing using non-Internet IP addressing.  Hughesnet doesn't provide the customer any Internet router IP address. == DNS Lookup Error ==
