  Either that or all these users are taking advantage of LinkNYC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinkNYC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinkNYC

    And all kinds of other public WiFi hotspots as well, e.g. coffee shops, WiFi in parks, etc.

  Yes, this has been going on for years in the IP-address third world, i.e. everywhere but the US. Now can we finally have IPv6 please, now that even americans begin to hate the blighty NAT? ;)

    How is ipv6 useful to the end users in this regard?
    • corty 6y ago
      You can skip the NAT traversal in all protocols, so especially VoIP, video conferences and games will be less expensive, more reliable and simpler. And incoming connections will be possible, meaning all that smarthome stuff could get simpler, more reliable and more protective of users' privacy. Of course contacting a webserver will mostly be the same. Maybe some loadbalancers will be less confused, but I doubt an enduser will notice.

        Lol. Network operators will always find away to make you miserable.

        > more protective of users' privacy are ISPs going to use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_IP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_IP though? because with a roaming ipv6 address you will have a device identifier that you may not be able to change even when roaming. advertisers couldn't have wished for something better.

        Or just get people to correctly implement and deploy PCP in their products, which also solves this problem without the privacy downsides.
  • saurik 6y ago
    NAT in this context is preventing the ability for whomever this is to separate and track users. That is a good thing.

      Good for people trolling. Bad for users trying to run a message board.
