That will be a problem for sites that are all hosted on one IP address where the server figures out what site you want by the client's request string.

Well then you just take whatever you get, it's website roulette.

My home stuff is like this

Thats because of how you set it up. If you want individual IP addresses for all your resources, you can get a huge chunk of IPv6 addresses just for yourself. You can get a /48 (65,536) addresses if you set it up with your ISP.

Yeah totally, it's just wrong to say it's not the majority of them.

It is.

Of course there are alternatives if you give up using the host header, like routing by URL. But that's difficult when the URL is encrypted, meaning SSL has to be terminated at the proxy.

You do have a point there NaibofTabr@46.4.254.144

See? If you don't like DNS, you don't have to use DNS, it's not so hard.

And IPv6 won't be that much harder, it's only... uh... 32 hex digits you'll have to remember, for each website. No big deal.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 4 points 9 hours ago

Yes, only 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:2e04:fe90. Simple!

Did you know we have these things called computer files that can store information. There's even one in your router specifically for storing IP addresses

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, you're right, I should just look up IP addresses in my NAT table. Maybe I should add comments to it so I know which IP is which.

[–] aeshna_cyanea@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

yep literally this. don't most routers nowadays have a dns server with a hosts file you can edit?

[–] infeeeee@lemm.ee 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

30 years ago we had to remember phone numbers, now ip addresses. We are going in circles.

Your perspective makes you believe we're going in circles. In actuality, we're going down the drain...
