and you connect to the gateway address, which is sorta multicast

with Wireguard

got a rasberry pi hooked to my modem I use for stuff like that at my home (and given to family members)

was worth it, love those things for development

Consider IPv6 @xorgy
In Dubai the are reserving IP addr for each lightbulb for being ready for the future

heheh

some places have to share more then 10 people to a single ipv4 address already

yeah, I'm definitely buying some IPv6

mainly because otherwise I can't really afford to operate

phillipines for example

one big advantage of what I'm doing is that the firewall can exist at the gateway

and you can have different exit addresses for different destinations

you configure the gateway firewall through some standard API

your mobile phone can have the same routing rules through a VPN, and can act like it's on your local network at all times

but it's the encryption of traffic that will get you, devices will need to comply with data protection regulations

data protection regulations?

can't just pass it on to the users if your redirecting traffic

Which ones, where?+

huh?

mostly from countries like germany, quite strict

lol, I just won't serve them

fuck Germany

they need to get their act together

They can probably connect

but officially I will not operate in markets which are hostile to this

and I will _never_ remit taxes to these jurisdictions.

It is immoral to serve Germans in an official capacity, because it involves appeasing the EE.

https://www.gdd.de/international/english these people in particular are fairly hardcore authotarians

LoL

by data protection they clearly mean surveillance

basically yes

Well, I'll keep things simple

offer service without knowing my customer

unless they want me to know them for other reasons (account recovery, involvement/surveys, etc.)

and reservations I guess

though I can discard reservation verification information as soon as the matching key is received

accept payment by mail

etc.

what scares me is that I saw an english ad for seseme credit while watching sling tv....

the idea of a social credit score like that disgusts me
