Technically, you are correct. Practically speaking, NAT is an inherent part of using IPv4 for 99.99% of end users. I haven't seen an end user or business with a public IP on the desktop in nearly 25 years.

You can NAT IPv6 but it is rarely done since there is simply no need.



I nat IPv6 on one of my servers because having seperate ipv6 for VMS but the same IPv4 has caused some issues with running mail servers and certificates. If only I could drop IPv4 completely
