He's not wrong though, although the way he put it was harsh. You can't truly hide your IP with mere CGNAT. Epsecially when modern CGNAT is all about "how to log the 5-tuple efficiently?"[0]

You need a log-less VPN service at the very least if you desire true privacy. Otherwise, IPv6 with privacy extension will achieve the same effect as CGNAT.

I think it would be logical to assume that the aforementioned depreciable and disgusting people are already using Tor or VPNs/ proxies.

There is no problem at all with the police or Interpol wanting to track a CGNAT map requested to the ISP through legal channels. This is why ISPs are required by law to retain the logs.

The privacy extension is for use on the rest of internet.

Ah, the way I intepreted your original comment it seemed that "does it for free" meant "relying on CGNAT" which was why I objected to it.
