>OK, yes, "retain continuity of addressability for every device" then - you'll need something at your end to push a signed notification out indicating your IP address change but there's no reason that can't be seamless like texting your contacts a new phone number but without any interaction needed.
so, you mean like dynamic updates to DNS? tsig-signed nsupdate? It's old technology, and would do what you describe (well, after dns caches empty. Yes, you get to set the TTL, but even with a short ttl, I wouldn't count on a dns update percolating down in less than two hours.)
Of course, there are problems with the end-to-end model you describe, where every device is publicly accessible. (Don't get me wrong, there are strong advantages to the model, too... but there are problems) I think I'd feel a little weird, a little naked without a statefull firewall in front of my consumer devices.

- lsc 13y agoIf changing ISPs is your only use case, it works fine. But if you expect to keep the same name when you walk down to the coffee shop? Yeah, you're firing up the VPN. I mean, nsupdate is great; I use it all the time, but it doesn't really solve the problem that the 'IP portability' folks were going or.
