Seriously, my knowledge ends with:
- It offers a shitload of IP addresses
- They look really complicated
- Something about every device in your local network being visible from everywhere?
- Some claim it obsoletes NAT?
I get that it’s probably too complicated a subject for an ELI5, so if there are good videos or resources explaining it in less than half an hour, feel free to share.
Good for you. I prefer interacting with humans. Your ChatGPT text gives me the info I’ve read 10x before, but have trouble parsing into something I can grasp.
It doesn’t touch the real world implications for day-to-day admin work, pitfalls, what not using NAT actually means, if dynamic IP addresses are still a thing, maybe share a funny anecdote…
It’s completely sterile.
And I have no idea what type of algorithm decided why these are the recommended videos.
