&lt;p&gt;I learned the hard way: my laptop in a masqueraded network picked a wrong
source address from a subnet the router had no knowledge about. The outbound
packets passed through right, but the responses came in, undergone translation,
and since the destination was unknown to the router, it used the &lt;em&gt;default&lt;/em&gt;
route, sending the packet back to the ISP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The result: IDS triggered by &lt;em&gt;many&lt;/em&gt; packets from my router with source IP
addresses from all around the Internet, all with destination to my private
address. (The ISP was not happy about that.)&lt;/p&gt;
