Hi @Pattarachai-FTH ,

 

Using a private IP address is definitely more secure than using a public IP address. In addition you will save on valuable address space using private IP addresses.

 

Private addresses are not directly reachable over the internet and can only be reached using NAT.

 

Please check NAT configuration examples or check various aspects of NAT.

 

Kind regards,

@kiwi  I understood about fundamental we should be  NAT for Private but I would like to know about risk in case  that we use The Public IP subnet not following RFC1918 will more security concern or not  because we will convince to change  subnet as following RFC1918 

 

Thank you
