Maybe I shouldn't have bothered. 
While ip6 and teredo tunnelling is probably a fascinating subject I don't think it is on topic here except for maybe a passing reference. |
Actually, what you said was:

Even with the superdud's spi firewall off you still sit behind NAT. So long as you are not worried about outbound security you are quite safe.

My point was that NAT isn't designed for providing security. I gave an example of it being bypassed (teredo tunnelling) but there are others - for example, the user may also have their PC set as the DMZ host. Or there may be bugs in the superhub's NAT rules (I don't believe the firmware is quite perfect yet!)
I certainly wouldn't advise people that with their software firewall disabled, they were "perfectly safe".
