- wtbob 10y ago> Its been a few years since I left but when I was there all hardwired devices had a public IP address. Which is, of course, how it's supposed to be. I used to host a website from my dorm room. Every device on the Internet should have a public IP address!
- Walf 10y ago> Every device that wants to be on the Internet should have a public IP address! We don't need every network-connected device, with all their flaws accessible to the world. Unfortunately, IPv6 will not help us there.
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoDoesn't IPv6 have local addresses that aren't routed externally, like ::1.
- XorNot 10y agoThat's what firewalls are for. In a perfect world you'd get your ipv6 prefix from your ISP, and have your firewall white list specific outbound suffix addresses. If you need topology privacy you'd shuffle your /64 every once in a while.
