Once IPv6 is a bit more popular, will CloudFlare use a unique IP per customer to get around SNI or will it still be used on IPv6? It seems a bit like NAT; something that can safely die once IPv4 is gone.
- snewman 12y agoAccording to the article, they are already doing that.
- ancarda 12y agoThanks for pointing that out, I seemed to have missed it.
- psykovsky 12y agoSo, you want NAT to die, but apparently you forget that NAT is what protects most domestic computers from intrusion, not anti-virus or software firewalls. It will be fun...
- ancarda 12y agoI'm aware a lot of people use NAT as a cheap firewall. I suspect decent home routers will have a basic firewall for IPv6, even if it just works based on ports.
- JoshTriplett 12y agoThat use of NAT can trivially be replaced by an everything-out nothing-in firewall.
- psykovsky 12y agoYou expect technologically illiterate people to magically be able to protect themselves when they couldn't before?
- X-Istence 12y agoNAT is not security.
