    Sorry to be the one to mention, but NAT is here to stay. Even if IPv6 has enough address space for everything to have a public address it’s still good security measure to have local area network that has a firewalled exit node. Especially considering how IoT has become popular and just how little people care about security of same devices.

      No, stop this. NAT is not a security measure. It was not designed as one, and does not help security at all.

        Why doesn’t it help security? Is everybody’s device supposed to be publicly accessible?
