Sure, but tablets/phones/PCs these days default to having their firewalls block everything anyway. Also the network engineer in me is forced to say that NAT isn't intended as a security feature. The main issue is people either sniffing unencrypted traffic or tracking what you're doing. But with how pervasive TLS is becoming, that becomes less and less possible.
