Is manual NAT Stateful?

[Ihenock1011]

Hi all,

I want to know if I write a manual NAT rule, e.g., source server X, destination Y, port 443 for outgoing traffic, and the traffic is only one-directional (X goes to Y). Do I need a manual NAT rule for the response traffic from Y to X in the same session?

Thanks,

Manual NAT rules are stateful, no need for S2C NAT rules.
