So.... fun fact, /32 means that your computer ends up broadcasting

#

That was a very traditional approach with DSL links

#

yeah but you can use /32 when refering to one host specifically

shadow dock Aug 31, 2023, 9:17 PM

#

Yes, but also as a netmask it works

strong lark Aug 31, 2023, 9:17 PM

#

like in rules for firewalls and routing

#

Confused the hell out of me when I saw it in use, but it works

strong lark Aug 31, 2023, 9:17 PM

#

I use /32 for my PBR for VPN for example

#

I'd typically use a /30 for ptp links

shadow dock Aug 31, 2023, 9:18 PM

#

Agreed, that's the obvious logical choice

#

Which is partly why /32 is fun to do to people

#

well I'll try it out

#

I miss the days when I call up the isp and they give me a /27

#

now you have to fight for one IP

#

strong lark now you have to fight for one IP

Just use ipv6

strong lark Aug 31, 2023, 10:50 PM

#

ok, as soon as the ISP figures out how it works

#

lmfao

#

they were testing it for the last 2 years and can never seem to get it right

#

and the other ISP I don't expect will ever get ipv6 working before end times

pliant vector Aug 31, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

I get a /48 from my ISP lol

#

But I don't understand how to use it

#

So I'm like monkey with a hammer

strong lark Aug 31, 2023, 10:53 PM

#

lol

pliant vector Aug 31, 2023, 10:54 PM

#

Its all so foreign, so different to ipv4
Then all the guides are just like "use logic and figure it out"

strong lark Aug 31, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

I used to tunnel 6to4

#

so I had my own /48 as well

#

maybe I'll set it up again and show my ISP how it works

#31 is also 2 IP s
