NAT
Router IP converter
NAT is a computing acronym for Network Address Translation, a method that allows multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address when connecting to the internet.
Your home router uses NAT to let all your devices—phones, laptops, smart TVs—access the web through one connection: I had to configure the NAT settings to get the game to connect properly.
