minus-squaredan@upvote.aulinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoNAT is, and has always been, an ugly hack. Why would anyone like it?
minus-squarejaybone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoDoesn’t that mean private non-routable subnets like 10.x or 192.x have always been a hack?
minus-squareorangeboats@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoPrivate addresses don’t necessitate NAT. IPv6 also allows private addresses in the form of fd00::/8, like fd00:face:b00b:1::1.
minus-squaredan@upvote.aulinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoNo, because there’s use cases for systems that aren’t connected to the internet. Also, public IPs can be dynamic, so you might not want to rely on them internally.
