A practical checklist for small and medium businesses: your public IP, static addresses, CGNAT, DNS, email records, TLS certificates and IPv6 — with a tool for each step.
How IP addresses and AS numbers reach UAE organisations, which networks announce the most space, and how much of it is protected by RPKI — from our own data.
Why IP location services put most UAE connections in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, what the registry and the routing table say instead, and how to get a wrong location corrected.
What websites see with a VPN on, how to check that it works, typical leaks, and what a VPN doesn't protect against.
IP address, headers, browser details and cookies: what is sent automatically, what needs your permission, and what you can limit.
Reverse DNS turns an IP address into a name. How the PTR record works, who controls it and why mail servers care.
No IPv6 address, IPv6 that exists but doesn't work, or sites that load slowly: a checklist from your device to your provider.
The protocol that ties networks together: prefixes, AS paths, how traffic finds its way, and why RPKI makes the internet safer.
Why a DNS change doesn't show everywhere at once, what TTL has to do with it, and how to plan a migration without downtime.
Why 255.255.255.0 and /24 are the same thing, how a mask separates network from host, and what wildcard masks are.
What your provider actually does, where it gets IP addresses, why a lookup may show another name than the brand you pay, and what it can see.
