By forcing the end user to NAT and hide things behind a "broadband router"
or similar device, you now give the attacker one convenient weak spot
which, once attacked and brought to its knees, will deny every node in the
house network service, especially since this box probably also
serves as switch, 802.11 access point, print server and whatnot..
Probably not what you wanted.
