IPv4 actually allows you to scan the entire net in reasonable time, which is much better for decentralized comm.
Leo Reyes
You have no idea what you're talking about.
With NAT+IPv4, it's effectively impossible to _directly_ connect to a machine accepting connections _behind the NAT router_ without resorting to port forwarding.
P2P applications in particular greatly suffer from this problem.
With IPv6, and no NAT, this issue is completely avoided.

I'm not saying ipv4 nat is good, but ipv6 is untrustworthy. I remember reading something about backdoored ipsec.

I choose IPFS over I2P routed through Tor over a derelict russian spy satellite repurposed as a VPS.
Adam Moore
No that's wrong. Each IPv6 device is allowed to have multiple v6 addresses right now. In contrast if you want to have multiple v4 addresses, your machine is required to have multiple network interfaces.
Adrian Gutierrez
Without NAT, people need to run firewalls. Forwarding a port or creating a firewall exception is not that different. With IPv6, if you have multiple machines in your home network, people on the internet can acquire some information about your home network, whereas with NAT, they don't know how many machines are in the network.

it's impossible to _directly_ connect to a machine anyway.
IPv6 means more work for sysops.
IPv4 means more work for netops.
