Oh my god, it&#x27;s so nice to live on a network of routable addresses.  It felt weird for the first year at college but once you have it for a while the reduced overhead is so nice.<p>When I started managing a &#x2F;24, the network administration was so amazing.  Like relaxing on a big squishy couch.  The internal nameserver and the external nameserver... were the same nameserver with one set of records.  The firewall was actually a firewall, not set of limitations that could be imposed by a firewall but were in fact a technical limitation of the network gateway.<p>I miss it so much.  Now I&#x27;m sitting on a network that uses a private block, VPN-ed into a network that uses ALL 3 1918 blocks (don&#x27;t ask).  From the computer I&#x27;m sitting at various subnets will be routed to the local network, and others to the remote network.  There are systems that I can not communicate with on both networks.  I will stand up SSH tunnels to whenever I need to talk to them.
