But a rogue web server would know the address and run an attack on it. Also, we can find the IP on mails.
Well, whether you use NAT or just a firewall, the attack will still be the same.
No, with NAT there is no possibility of directly connecting to the hosts inside, unless the router sends some ports inside, to a server inside. Or game.
Also, as I mentioned in another note, privacy addresses are usually used. These addresses have a fairly short lifetime, so are useless long term for attacks.
Well, that's good. How does that work? The router hands them, or the computer autoassigns them? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
