+This Parasitic Network plugin allows "clients" on the same subnet to use this device as a gateway upstream.
+This network of "clients" is the Parasitic Network, SNAT'ed to this device's external interface(s).
-(IPv4-only)
+This Parasitic Network is useful for situations when the upstream firewall
+is not under your control and you desire added security for specific devices
+in your subnet.  Set the gateway address of Parasitic Network clients to an
+external IPv4 address of this device.
+To be effective, be certain the Parasitic Network clients are IPv4-only.
