That's nothing compared to my experience when I got allocated static IP (IPv4) at university. I didn't even request it, the university has /16 allocated, and doesn't do any NAT, instead a stateful firewall blocks all incoming connections by default.
Anyway, the RevDNS resolved to a host containing my full name. I suppose that would discourage any abusive behavior, but even if you didn't have intention of doing that it was still a weird experience.
- p_l 6y agoThat's how IP was supposed to work in the first place. Creation of things like private IP ranges was quite controversial.
- takeda 6y agoYeah, I agree with how IP works, and prefer static IP over dynamic, but having my name in the DNS name is a bit too much. The only step further from that would be including my SSN there as well. Even when walking down the street I'm not required to wear a name tag.
