Customizing Parallels Pro Control Panel for NAT

NAT is short for network address translation. It is a technique in which the source and/or destination addresses of IP packets are rewritten as they pass through a router or firewall. It is most commonly used to enable hosts on a private network to access the Internet using a single public IP address. Note that Parallels Pro does not translate the IP address of the server. You must self-configure your hosting network to provide appropriate IP translation for your server.

By default, NAT is easily recognized by all relative links used in Parallels Pro Control Panel. Once you log in to the control panel using the address http://<servername>:8080/, all the URLs (which are typically hyperlinks or form actions), such as /isp/listsites and /isp/listplans are relative URLs. In such situations, the browser automatically prefixes the protocol http://, the server name, and the port 8080, to the URL before accessing the link. For example, if the browser sees a hyperlink called /isp/listsites on a page http://< server>:8080/isp/main, then the URL is automatically set to http://server:8080/isp/listsites.

However, Parallels Pro Control Panel does not support automatic reconfiguration for the following scenarios:
