-  This option is highly recommended if you have said Y to "IP:
-  masquerading" because that facility requires that second and further

+  You must say Y here if you want to enable "IP: masquerading" or "IP:

   When using "IP: firewalling" support, you might also want to say Y
   here, to have a more reliable firewall (otherwise second and further
   fragments must be dealt with by the firewall, which can be tricky).
 
-  When using "IP: transparent proxying", this option is implicit,

-
   Only say Y here if running either a firewall that is the sole link
   to your network or a transparent proxy; never ever say Y here for a
   normal router or host.
