I have very little knowledge of how transistors shuffle ones and zeros out of registers. That doesn't prevent me from using them to solve a problem. Computing is always abstractions. We moved from plugging to assembly, then to c, then

If you don't have RPF enabled on your router in theory your upstream peer can send traffic to 192.168.80.26 and it would pass through. Reply traffic may or may not be natted depending on how it's entered in the connection tracking

Defence in depth is a valid security approach, and NAT provides another defence in depth If you have a vulnerable ipv4 machine on 192.168.0.24 port 2345 which is hidden behind a public IP of 1.2.3.4, and you set your firewall rule to allow

Ipv6 also creates real world problems that NAT solves -- multi upstream WAN with path selection for example Dual stack introduces security problems (you now have two things to secure). There are still devices which will fail to run on an ip

The nat is a belt and braces approach - especially when combined with rpf. How will your packet reach 192.168.0.1 from the internet without having a nat rule to translate the packet, even if there is a firewall rule allowing all traffic (If

NAT is a trivial feature on top of a connection tracking firewall. It also provides a large number of benefits - the ability to route traffic via different routes with PBR, without having BGP upstream, to keep routing decisions in the route

One of the ways its superior is the lack of adverts trying to double-dip.

Usenet died partly due to the ads, and the inability for adblocking software at the time to keep up. People left and never came back. But those bots were certainly around in the 90s

If you have solar on your roof and a bomb hits it, you have no power. And no roof. Power is the least of your problems. If you have a central power nuclear/gas/coal station and a bomb hits it, nobody has power.

Weatherspoons charge under £3 for a pint in town. That's 15 minutes at minimum wage. Beer was far more expensive 25 years ago - £1.60 in 2000 in the student pub when I first started buying my own beer, that was about half an hour at mi
