What component of your router prevents a packet with destination IP 192.168.1.2 arriving on the WAN interface from crossing over to the LAN interface and reaching a LAN machine with that IP? Hint: It's the same one that prevents IPv6 packets from making that same crossing.
- DarkmSparks 3y agonothing stops 192.168.1 crossing a wan interface, in fact I and most of the internet rely on being able to do exactly that, the router just needs an appropriate route in its routing table.

- DarkmSparks 3y agothe wan address of my router is 192.168.1.8 with a gateway of 192.168.1.1 my lan ip address is 10.10.11.10 with a gateway of 10.10.11.1 what do you think I missed?
