A lot of people, even on HN, mistake "addressable" for "accessible".

It's because router defaults have been bad for a long time and NAT accidentally made them better.

I finally have IPv6 at home but I am being very cautious about enabling it because I don't really know what the implications are, and I do not trust the defaults.
