   • Click the "+" button to add a new DHCP client.
   • Select the interface connected to your ISP (usually ether1) and click "OK."

Step 4: Configure Firewall

• Set up basic firewall rules to secure your network:
  • Input rule: Drop invalid connections.
  • Forward rule: Allow established and related connections.
  • Output rule: Allow all outbound connections.

Step 5: Set Up NAT (Network Address Translation)

• Navigate to IP > Firewall > NAT.
• Click the "+" button to add a new NAT rule.
• In the general tab, set the Chain to "srcnat."
