Hi,
My Asus RT-AC68U is currently the first point of connection for several of my machines. It has some services running on his own also (openvpn client and server, samba server, media server, etc). As part of experimentation, it's usually behind some pure firewall (Watchguard, ZyWALL, etc) who in turns goes directly to my modem/router. Everything works fine as long as I keep the Asus' NAT on, with the drawback that from the firewall point of view, anything behind the Asus is of course...
About disabling NAT: can still it work as a router ?
