docs: clarify gateways don't connect to internet
Consul's ingress and terminating gateways are meant to enable connectivity within your organizational network between services outside the Consul service mesh and those within. They are not meant to connect to the public internet.

This topic provides an overview of the gateway features shipped with Consul. Gateways provide connectivity into, out of, and between Consul service meshes. You can configure the following types of gateways:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Mesh gateways](#mesh-gateways) enable service-to-service traffic between Consul datacenters or between Consul admin partitions. They also enable datacenters to be federated across wide area networks.
|
||||
- [Ingress gateways](#ingress-gateways) enable services to accept traffic from outside the Consul service mesh.
|
||||
- [Terminating gateways](#terminating-gateways) enable you to route traffic from services in the Consul service mesh to external services.
|
||||
- [Ingress gateways](#ingress-gateways) enable connectivity within your organizational network from services outside the Consul service mesh to services in the mesh.
|
||||
- [Terminating gateways](#terminating-gateways) enable connectivity within your organizational network from services in the Consul service mesh to services outside the mesh.
