Hallo Charles,
I could set that one up now, but how do I set things up to point to it?
As you mentioned, all your devices show the same IPv4 address via whatismyip.com, so you need port forwardings in your router for each of
them.
Eg., if you have 4 BBSes on different machines, you can create these port forwardings on your router:
Port 2301 => bbsmachine1:23
Port 2302 => bbsmachine2:23
and so on.
The same way could be used to have different BBS programs on the same machine, if the BBS programs get different ports:
Port 2301 => bbsmachine:2301
Port 2302 => bbsmachine:2302
etc...
Using IPv6 is a bit easier, as all your machines have individual IPv6 addresses. You just have to make sure that they always have one specific
IPv6 address that stays the same (eg. by disabling the "privacy
extensions"). Then you just have to open the host/port on the firewall.
Regards,
Anna
