NAT is not a privacy mechanism. For IP addresses to be lifelong (and therefore portable) the routing mechanism would need to change. Now you have two problems.

Yeah, I know who GP Thomann is (was). We sold the RE/search books at Fringeware. But I'll bet 8 of 10 on HN do not. Moreover, some percentage of HN won't understand that OpenBSD forked from NetBSD, and the rest of the &#x27
