NPTv6 Does Not Provide Security

It is important to understand that NPTv6 does not provide security. In general, stateless network address translation does not provide any security; it provides an address translation function. NPTv6 does not hide or translate port numbers. You must set up firewall security policies correctly in each direction to ensure that traffic is controlled as you intended.
