Edge services: NAT, DHCP, and time

Put a LAN online through one public IP, publish a service, relay DHCP across subnets, and lock down time.

5 challenges · ~3 h · every step earns its own verified proof

  1. Put a whole private LAN online through a single public address with PAT.

  2. Publish one inside service on one public port, and nothing else.

  3. A subnet a hop away leases nothing. Relay the broadcast to the central server.

  4. Relay is per-interface. Bring the second client subnet online too.

  5. Close an open time service and require authenticated upstreams.
