I never said Ben wasn't talented. He's very talented. I like Ben. That said, they are leagues apart. It's like claiming Eric Clapton is as good as a guitarist in some shitty bar band. Perhaps you're not familiar with who

Globally routable doesn't mean you don't have firewalls in between filtering and blocking traffic. You can be globally routable but drop all incoming traffic at what you define as a perimeter. E.g. the WAN interface of a typical

Can you define "local network"? Probably not. Most large enterprises own publicly-routable IP space for internal use. Internal doesn't mean 192.168.0.0/24. foo.corp.example.com could resolve to 9.10.11.12 and still be lo
