   So what? A device on the LAN that communicates with the outside world uses a   
   public address. In the case of IPv4 with NAT it is a public WAN address of the   
   router. In case of IPv6 it is a public address in the prefix range assigned to   
   the router. In either case the address used is "exposed".

   Hmmm... I would rather not put my faith in the hands of a "security expert"   
   that believes in "security through obscurity"...   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
