- Dagger2 9mo agoThere's no inherent ACL in NAT, and adding one would just demonstrate that ACLs can block packets, which we already knew. > What you’re describing would happen if NAT were completely disabled. You’re just describing an open router Yep. It also happens when NAT is enabled. A router doing NAT is exactly the same thing as an open router -- it just has the additional property of editing outbound connections to appear to come from the IP of the router itself. If NAT on its own blocked inbound connections, I would have seen that in my tests.
