I'm sorry, this is just an elaborate argument of obscurity-as-security. You're clinging to privacy as though it were security, in stark avoidance of Kerckhoffs's principle.

TIL that IPv6 is a cryptosystem


You can use Shannon's maxim instead if you're going to be deliberately obtuse. The point is true for any system intended to be secure, and a network is such a system, as is the security software such as the claimed NAT software.

Or do you really want to argue that Linux Netfilter/nftables or BSD pf being open source is a security problem?
