    DNS doesn’t cover ports. I think Port Address Translation as part of NAT does this? I’m aware of it but never had to use it.

    For example you could route traffic using default ports to non default ports. A browser uses 80 and 443 but you could make a rule hitting www.example.com to go to 192.168.0.100:8081 and the browser doesn’t know or care.

    Or you could use a remote desktop client set to use rdp.example.com:7777 but gets translated to the usual 3389 so you don’t have to change any of the RDP servers to listen on different ports.

    I haven’t touched this in years and I know shitall about reverse proxies so I hope I’m not misleading you but this is where I would start if it were me.


  • “I don’t think a group of people who share a commonality should be allowed to express their thoughts and beliefs” ?

    I’m going to assume what you meant was, their opinions shouldn’t be elevated above anyone else’s. Which I agree with. Their fame does give them a platform and reach far beyond the average person but that shouldn’t prevent them from being able to share their views like everyone else.

    Also I do want to know if someone has views that I find offensive and can avoid supporting. Whatever your views, personal tastes, politics etc. Gal Gadot, Ryan Reynolds/whatshername and Sydney Sweeny demonstrated a lot of people do care about actors beyond the media they are part of producing.

    Also, the average person doesn’t even know a single name at the UN or humanitarian groups so when Emma Watson speaks up for women and trans people she’s using her platform to spread the message of those organisations, to their benefit. I can tell you know I’ve never once thought to look on the United Nations website with a curiosity for their current endeavours.

    I might have started this reply a bit antagonistic but by the time I finished I actually found the point you raised interesting and worth thinking through, thank you.
