In other parts of the World that didn't get as many IPv4 addresses as the US, the standard for home connections is that you DON'T get a public IP address, you get a private IP address behind carrier grade NAT

And that's really NAT, not a firewall, so nothing is "blocked".

You do get public IPv6 addresses from some ISPs, though.
