He did say "public address" but that was just a misnomer. A globally unique address in no way implies public accessibility.
It's also possible to use non globally unique addresses in a manner similar to RFC1918. Those addresses are not available over the internet, unless you use a VPN or tunnel to get to your network. Might be just the thing to keep some intruder from raiding your fridge. ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
