-A user space NAT64 implementation 
+**A user space NAT64 implementation.**
+
+*Protomask* started as a challenge to create a NAT64 implementation in a weekend. The goal of this implementation is to *keep things simple*. There aren't many knobs to tweak, so if you want to do stateful NAT or source address filtering, put something like `iptables` in front of it.
