<div>Will Cox allow for a bridge/virtual bridge
mode? Xfinity does, which allows you to put in a firewall, and use the
modem only as a gateway, therefore preventing a double NAT situation.
Never lived in a Cox area before, and currently ride CL fiber.<br>

Check the routing and NAT policy on the FW. All outbound traffic should
