Much as I understand the moral outrage that NATs cause in some people's mind, NATs are still a reality AND they (usually anyway) provide connectivity to the Internet. Have you tried using a hotelroom Ethernet port or a WiFi network recently? I can't remember the last time I was assigned something that looked like a "real" routable IP address, but as a consumer of paid-for Internet service (that works) is there any reason (apart from religion) that I should care??
