The administrator creates a manual NAT rule with source 10.0.0.0/8, destination Any, service Any, and translated source as the gateway's external IP. After installing the policy, users report that they can access some websites but not others. What is the most likely cause?

A Check Point administrator is configuring a manual NAT rule for a server that needs to be accessible from both the internal network and the Internet. The server's private IP is 192.168.1.100, and its public IP is 203.0.113.20. Internal users should access the server using its private IP, while external users should use the public IP. The administrator creates a manual Static NAT rule that translates the public IP to the private IP for inbound traffic. However, internal users report that when they try to access the server using its public IP, the connection fails. What is the most likely reason?

A security administrator at a company with a Check Point R81 management server and two clustered Security Gateways is configuring NAT for a web server on the internal network. The server's private IP is 192.168.10.50, and it must be reachable from the Internet at public IP 203.0.113.25.
