In a SNAT environment, the firewall on the edge should not be configured to allow incoming connections. This is because the SNAT device will be responsible for routing incoming traffic to the correct internal server. If the firewall were to allow incoming connections, this could bypass the SNAT device and allow unauthorized access to the internal network.

The firewall should also be configured to block outgoing connections to any IP address that is not explicitly allowed. This is to prevent users from sending data to unauthorized servers.

Finally, the firewall should be configured to only allow specific applications to communicate over the firewall. This will help to prevent unauthorized applications from accessing the network.

Here are some specific firewall options that you may need to turn off in a SNAT environment:

    Allow incoming connections from any IP address.
    Allow outgoing connections to any IP address.
    Allow any application to communicate over the firewall.

You may also need to configure the firewall to allow SNAT to translate IP addresses. This will allow internal servers to communicate with the internet without having their public IP addresses exposed.

In addition to disabling firewall options, you can also use IAM to control access to your network resources. IAM can be used to create IAM roles that grant users specific permissions, such as the ability to read or write data to a specific database.

By disabling unnecessary firewall options, using IAM to control access to your network resources, and configuring the firewall to allow SNAT to translate IP addresses, you can help to improve the security of your SNAT environment.
