Alright, network wizards and packet-pushing sysadmins! Feeling brave this November? I dare you, double-dog dare you, to take the No NAT November challenge! Can you handle the raw, unadulterated terror of the public internet without your trusty NAT to hide behind? Will your Linux and Unix/Windows servers survive the exposure? Will your routers spontaneously combust? Only one way to find out! Ditch the NAT, embrace the chaos, and let's see if you make it to December in one piece! 😈

Image of computer router with text read as "No NAT November". This is a silly joke; please don't take it seriously. Do you read alt text?

@nixCraft Nah, we have been living happily in the IPv6 world without NAT for a loooong time already. Proper firewall is the thing that cuts off the noise.

I have a public static IP for business reasons. It counts?

@nixCraft Mh, I mean Dual Stack already has the v6 part not behind a NAT, sooo... this is already the status quo. 🤷‍♀️
