    They still wouldn’t. A single computer address is not an individual. They’re only slightly better off compared to knowing the edge router IP like they do now.

    If you really want to protect against that, then use a proxy or an onion router. NAT was never meant to do this, and it does it poorly.

      It is extremely likely to be the same user. Shared computers are rare today.

        So what? They still don’t have much more information than the edge router IP. Again, if you want to protect yourself here, use a proxy, onion router, or VPN. NAT is not designed to tackle this, and does it poorly.
