An update to this ask: I more or less flipped the thing upside-down yesterday. Instead of using IP Passthrough to hand all the DHCP business to the Eeros, I instead put the Eeros in bridge mode, so all the DHCP stuff is being handled by the BGW320. It's behaving pretty well, and I have been able to assign a public static IP address to the NAS. The NAS is now of course being subjected to a range of scanning attacks, but my firewall appears to be holding. I would very much like to install a network-level VPN, though (unsurprisingly) AT&T has their hardware locked down in a way that pushes you toward their VPN-as-a-service. If y'all have suggestions for ways to get around that, I'm all ears! #AskFedi #BGW320 #VPN

I'm trying to think through a complex networking issue, and hoping that someone out here might have some knowledge to drop that will get me out of the endless internet searches that are only producing partial, dated, and/or useless results. Thanks in advance if you have ideas to share! https://kfitz.info/networking/
