One advantage of a proxy that comes to mind is that TCP sessions are made from the user to the proxy then from the proxy to the server. Just like CBAC it could block DoS and sync attacks. NAT would just send it through.

Subject: OT: Proxy vs NAT

Sorry for posting the OT but I am really looking forward to hear from the
experts.

 

What are advantages and disadvantages of Proxy over NAT? Otherwise do you
recommend using a Proxy server behind a firewall for some reason?

 

Thanks,
