Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO
Vinstaal0@feddit.nl 3 weeks agoYeah I can always do that, but putting stuff behind something like Tailscale is (or atleast feels) more secure than making my IP known to the public. I have a DMZ setup though so it should be fine.

Your “IP address” is already public. That’s why an IPv4 address is assigned to you as a “public IP address” and you NAT to a private space. When using IPv6, everything is public.
The key is to secure everything with access restrictions.

Well yes I know, but there is a difference between using a domain bound to me as a person and a random string of numbers that changes every 5 minutes

Chances are you’ve had the same public IP for a long time. Mine hasn’t changed in 2 years.

@chronicledmonocle @Vinstaal0 I used to work for a dial-up ISP. Every IP is registered to an account, if you're going through your ISP (as opposed to, say, coffee shop or hotel wifi). Though the people who have the information are different (ICANN/registrar vs your internet provider), there's no anonymity in your home IP address even with CGNAT.

That was the case when I lived with my parents, but now it changes every 5 minutes sadly.
So I had to shut down my Minecraft server etc for now because I am on a 5G modem which makes it really annoying to open up ports and point a domain to your IP
