Firewalls aren't nearly as bad as NAT.

Basically the same thing. If you legitimately need to establish a connection then put a firewall rule in, whether that needs nat or pat is a function of your available addresses.

If you are tying to work around your firewall because it isn’t yours, that’s not a legitimate use.
