SecureNat works like any SOHO router. The NAT is blocking you from getting to the 10.10.10.1 address like it is supposed to. Its like having a router behind a router. The 10.10.10.1 is the SecureNAt routers internal address. If you look at your main router/ DHCP server, you should see the virtual MAC from the secureNAT settings getting an IP address from the DHCP server on you main network.
