so on my system with a static wan ip and manual nat forwarding rules, if I disable the root user, which I would like to do as a security measure, it appears to disable NAT.
which breaks the internet.
thing is, I would like to disable the root user as a standard security measure :(.

The correct method for disabling the root account is to lock it, not disable the account. If you disable the account, nothing can run as UID 0.
