This isn't about Firefox, and there are zero mentions of Firefox in the article. This is about Mozilla screwing over their volunteers by replacing their human written translations, with inaccurate machine translations written by a closed source LLM.

You're going to have a hard time trying to get that working over the WAN (if that's even possible).

Wake on LAN is still encapsulated in an IP packet, so you can send it over the internet, and most WOL clients let you specify an IP. However your router will need to DNAT it to a broadcast address. Some routers have a check box for this (e.g. An ISP provided Technicolor router I have), some let you port forward to broadcast (e.g. Many routers, sometimes with workarounds), and some let you manually configure NAT (e.g. MikroTik routers).

So it is possible, but forwarding public internet traffic to a broadcast address seems like a bad idea, and I wouldn't recommend it. Why I know this: I used to do this in middle school, and it does work quite well.

If you just want an IPv6 prefix and don't need the encryption a VPN provides, you can use an IPv6 broker. Hurricane Electric's broker is a popular one.

That's the OPs reply, not the AI.

Funny thing, time.is uses Cloudflare, and I only found out because of the outage.

Fun fact: there actually is an IP version 5, and the reason we went from v4 to v6.

The browser extension also lets you scan the page for QR codes for the TOTP key.

And I feel like it’s not a good idea to have a modem directly attached to the pc directly unless you’re using it as a router?

Yeah I feel like this is the issue. The modem/router would be firewalling between the networks hiding the PC behind it.

Also from the description, does OP have a router at all? Is their ISP somehow just allocating public IPs to everything? Do your IPs start with 192.168 or something else?

Someone has also just done 100 modems over a T3 line using Cisco gear: https://youtu.be/rOdGK6GVIVU
