Of course I want a firewall. We all do. That much was obvious even when I was on dial-up, installing Shorewall or whatever it was back in 2000.

My point is that if you have a firewall you're in the exact same position as if you have a firewall+NAT in that you need to be able to punch holes in it.

IPv6 on its own does nothing to help with this.

NAT make hoke punching more complicated (or depending on exact type of NAT impossible)
