It's common to use it with RFC1918 addresses, but that still doesn't change the behavior of PAT. PAT will not drop connections, and thus won't provide you with security.


Security is not black or white, it is shades of gray. We'll just have to disagree.


The behavior of PAT is, though. You can sniff packets and confirm that it behaves the way I'm describing.
