VPN hacks, IPv6, and then some
March 15th, 2021
----------------------------------------
I'm completely overwhelmed by things I'd like to learn
and do.
My current project has to do with the idea of having
multiple VPNs enabled on the same machine, while having
the choice of what application should use what VPN.
To give the idea, one should be able to use two
networking programs at the same time, while appearing
with different ip addresses on the Internet.
Why? …I don't know. The best reason to do this I
could come out with is "to troll better in IRC". The
reason why I do it is "because I [think] I can". And
also because I want to gain the knowledge in networking
that allows me to do it.
It is true that it's hard to gain knowledge in the
networking department, unless you work in the field.
It is much easier, by comparsion, than gaining
knowledge in computer programming!
For instance, one doesn't often work with network
equipment: it is typically pointless to have something
more expensive than a home router, at home! Or, how do
I get experience in IPv6 if my provider only routes
IPv4 traffic?
Yet, if I don't know IPv6, how can I notice that - say
- my firewall rules only apply to half of my network
stack?
