NAT is a firewall technology, not a router technology. no, NAT is not a firewall technology. it's not exactly a router technology either, though it is often incorporated in routers, and devices that primarily exist to perform NAT are often marketed as "routers".

Once again we see that someone who wants to be in denial, will maintain that state of denial, no matter what.
