But a rogue web server would know the address and run an attack on it. Also, we can find the IP on mails.
Well, whether you use NAT or just a firewall, the attack will still be the same.
No, with NAT there is no possibility of directly connecting to the hosts inside, unless the router sends some ports inside, to a server inside. Or game.
Assuming a correctly configured firewall, ditto.
Also, as I mentioned in another note, privacy addresses are usually used. These addresses have a fairly short lifetime, so are useless long term for attacks.
Well, that's good.
How does that work? The router hands them, or the computer autoassigns them?
They're assigned locally by the machine. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (23.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
