Just plain old hostnames really.
- aboardRat4 9mo agoHostnames are either in a static hosts file, which you need to distribute to your machines somehow (probably using older names or raw addresses, which you do not know, because need the names in the first place), or a DNS, and for most people the DNS is under ISP's control. Even if you have your own DNS server out there somewhere, you still need to allow a bit of DNS hijacking from your ISP in order to receive that verification SMS and enter the code into the ISP's log-in page. DNS is a great thing, but just too much of a pain to configure.
- preisschild 9mo agomDNS handles this too and is zero-configuration.
- aboardRat4 9mo agoDoes your Android phone do mDNS?
- preisschild 9mo agoYes? At least on GrapheneOS (Android 16 QPR2) it works
- 9dev 9mo agoAny bog-Standard home router will resolve hostnames on your LAN, and that’s everything you require in most cases. No ISP involvement at all.
- aboardRat4 9mo agoNot every bog standard home router can do ndp proxying.
