Obscure My IP

[Cool_Selecta]

Hi All

Another question I have is about hiding my WAN IP. Is it possible to hide my WAN IP, whilst allowing my device still to be accessed via its DDNS name?

Device I set up as a port forward from my firewall, as it did not support uPnP.


Cheers

hiding the ip for a specific program? e.g. torrent?

Hi

Most request to request to the IP. You see I am thinking that by configuring my firewall I can get the IP request to hang, but resolve the name fine.

May be barking mad, but on certain connections, this happens.

If DDNS name resolution works, then the external party will obtain your WAN IP. It has to work that way.

But I think you're asking about ignoring IP-only requests - is that correct?

Yes.

Is it possible?

Is it possible?

That would depend on the services exposed on your LAN and their ability to accept only FQDN requests.

What NAS services have you allowed from outside your LAN?
