It uses encryption ('hiding') only for its own control messages (using an optional pre-shared secret), and does not provide any encryption ...

By allowing hosts to create explicit port forwarding rules, handling of ...

Private VLAN. Private VLAN, also known as port isolation, is a technique in computer networking where a VLAN contains switch ports that are restricted such that they can only communicate with a given uplink.
