    No one can port scan all my devices that are NATted.


    With the IOT going the way that it is, and security not being the best on someones "internet connected toaster", i like the fact that most of my devices dont face the outside world.

    No-one can port scan any of my devices that have uniquely identifiable addresses either, other than on the ports that I deliberately open on my hardware firewall.

    Edit - well they can, but they won't get past the firewall as it will just drop the packets.
