When a packet enters a firewall on the Internet interface and exits on the inside; what is the source address of that packet on the internal network? Does it keeps it original address or is it the inside interface address?
The source IP address remains unchanged in any normal setup.
It might be changed in some more special setup but 99% of the time I would say there is no need to NAT the source address of a connection coming from External to Internal network.
