Help text

Masquerading is a special case of NAT: all outgoing connections are changed to seem to come from a particular interface's address, and if the interface goes down, those connections are lost. This is only useful for dialup accounts with dynamic IP address (ie. your IP address will be different on next dialup).

To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
