Lol, thanks. I rarely work on stuff exposed to the Internet. I've implemented multiple bare metal IP stacks from scratch, including Ethernet, DHCP, ARP, ICMP, and UDP. I've run real-time safety critical packets over TCP links. I've tunneled IP traffic through the international space station. I've done unforgivable things with iptables and awk.
The funny thing is that IPv6 short-circuits my brain. Why do I have four addresses, and where did they come from? Why isn't there a link-local address for loopback and wireguard?
