        1 - Providing your WAN IP (furthermore this IP being in the RFC1918 range, meaning not being your real external IP) is useless and not required
        2 - With such question, the best you can get is pointer to documentation  ;)
        3 - What's the point with DNS ?

          @chris4916:

          Very true.
          But be aware for that a new kind of user that exists: the one that checks

          Block private networks
          When set, this option blocks traffic from IP addresses that are reserved for private networks as per RFC 1918 (10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16) as well as loopback addresses (127/8).  You should generally leave this option turned on, unless your WAN network lies in such a private address space, too.

          and
          uses a IP WAN like 192.a.b.c (or 10.a.b.c) as WAN  ;D
