Hi, Forrest:
1) " if you have IPv6 service and I have IPv6 service, our IPv6 devices
can talk directly to each other without needing any VPN or similar. ":
Thanks. So, is it true that the reason IPv4 could not do so is solely
because it does not have enough static addresses for every subscriber?
2) " ... taking other security/safety steps. (Like the PSTN, the
internet can be tapped). ":
Agreed. However, the extra steps should be for those who have some
secret to hide. In the PSTN days, most traffic was voice and no
encryption. For the Internet, everything is digitized. Distinguishing
among voice and data becomes extra work. So, I see the tendency to
encrypt everything.

Yes, if you have IPv6 service and I have IPv6 service, our IPv6
devices can talk directly to each other without needing any VPN or
similar. And yes, this is available today.
Note that just like the PSTN you might not want to do this without
encryption and taking other security/safety steps. (Like the PSTN,
the internet can be tapped).
