I don't think it's that uncommon (and I say that not only because I have one myself). Home routers make it trivial to add one, and NAS boxes are more common than ever. Almost every game and torrent client needs to have ports forwarded (which it a server in the network sense), and UPnP is a "feature" most people have that makes it possible to be unaware of it all.
- freehunter 11y agoIn the US, every ISP contract I've seen says you're not allowed to run a server from your home. And when they structure your connection to have 50mbps down and 0.5mbps up, that's the enforcement.
- hobarrera 11y agoAnd that's a pretty unenforceable contract. A lot of video-games have the host of a match actually work as a server. NAS as servers. In lots of inter-device applications, one of them works as a server. Oh, right, and Xorg.
