So, really, you were “correcting” me for you and your specific setup at the very beginning because your router’s firewall has a deny rule for all inbound connections because I must have been confusing what a NAT and what a firewall is because I must have been talking about your specific configuration on your specific devices.
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
Having a NAT on a consumer router is indeed the norm. I don’t even see how you could say it is not.
I never said NAT = security. As a matter of fact, I even said
But hey, strawmanning didn’t stop your original comment to me either, so why stop there?
I never even implied the opposite.
Right, because masquerade is NAT…specifically Source NAT.
I’m just going to go ahead an unsubscribe from this conversation.
