Default Re: strange working of static nat

For sure this is correct operation.

If you have "routes" and "rules" which will allow connectivity between external clients and your internal network without NATing then firewall-1 is only doing what it is told - and will allow the connection.

If you only want external clients to connect to your network using the NAT that you have setup, then you should NOT configure rules that will allow access without NATing.
