Teredo is designed to work without ISP support, it encapsulates IPv6 in IPv4 datagrams. Take a look at the Wikipedia page:

That's good, but you didn't in your post above! You seemed to imply that NAT was enough protection (which it may not be, even without Teredo). If I misunderstood, then my apologies.
