What is the difference between DNS and NAT?

DNS (Domain Name System) translates human-readable domain names into IP addresses that computers use to identify each other on the network. NAT (Network Address Translation) modifies network address information in IP packet headers while in transit, enabling multiple devices on a local network to share a single public IP address.

NAT (Network Address Translation) translates private IP addresses within a local network to a public IP address for accessing the internet, and vice versa. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to devices on a network, enabling them to communicate on an IP network.

DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names into IP addresses, making it easier for users to access websites using human-readable names. An IP address is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.

NAT (Network Address Translation) allows multiple devices on a local network to share a single public IP address, translating private IP addresses to a public IP address for outbound traffic and vice versa. A regular IP address is a unique identifier assigned to a device on a network, which can be either public (accessible from the internet) or private (used within a local network).
