In that case @DarrenM is spot on, as you'd expect.

 

I just thought it worth confirming.

When the DM200 is in Bridge mode it my experience in the UK

1) disables the internal Firewall

2) does not perfrom NAT

3) Bridges the XDSL PPPoA to PPPoE onto the Ethernet port. The device connected onto the Ethernet port must support a PPPoE (Point toPoint Protocol Over Ethernet) and be configured for your ISP provided  Username and a Password. For BT in the UK this is username "Bthomehub@btbroadband.com" password "pass"   the password can be left blank. The Connected device then via the PPPoA to PPPoE bridged connection will be given your  ISP provisioned outside IP address and also the DNS ip addresses. AT this stage the attached device should be perfoming the Network Address Translation (NAT) for you internet connetion.. Internet security etc The DNS addresses are normaly then sent to your network via DHCP configurations.

In my cases its quite simple

Internet ------VDSL2 ------- DM200 ----- PPPoE ----- Untangle UT security ------- Intenal network 192.168.x.x
