I forget what it's called, but there's a component of IPv6 where a computer *can* use a new IP address for each request to avoid tracking. Disposable IPs, though obviously the service provider knows the range they've allocated for legal purposes.

NAT is "security through obscurity" which translates to "zero additional security" also known as "false security" IPv6 behind a stateful firewall is just as secure - some folks would argue it's more secure but that argument would take several paragraphs to get into ;) -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Glen Waldrop Sent: Wednesday, July 1, 2015 10:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] private ipv4 sale / leases Yeah, but the great thing about NAT is that my network isn't public.
