But I like NAT. I don’t want to spark a ‘NAT is not a firewall’ debate, but it solves many security and privacy issues with little overhead, and does so in an incredibly simple and elegant way. Having the private LAN as a trusted network zone makes perfect sense, and for home users is works perfectly well with 0 configuration. Remove it and you’re giving every single device a globally unique L3 identifier (no fucking thank you), and to get the same benefits that NAT provides you’ll have to replace it with an unavoidably more complex solution.
