Understood. CG-NAT has been so annoying, I would love for IPv6 to completely replace v4 ASAP

I figure the mobile carrier was blocking incoming connections to my phone. This was a couple of years ago, things might have changed since then.

I didn't mean prevent, just makes it harder by default. You can still open connections from within the NAT

Edit: I do admit to failing at accessing my IPv6 PC from my IPv6 phone

Edit2: apparently NAT is full of security bugs

You're talking about NAT traversal? We do have control over which we apps we run though?

I still have to initiate the outgoing UDP. Are you talking about the specific case where any software running on my host can initiate it without me requesting?

The main benefit of a NAT is that by default it prevents all external access to the hosts inside the network. Any port you have open is not accessible unless explicitly forwarded.

This has a lot of security benefits. Regardless, everything you said is sounds true to me.

Why do you say NAT doesn't make a network more secure?

How about no?

Same, but sometimes I forget to recharge the controller
