That was the very first question (and headache) I got from looking at this. |

I really wouldn't know where to start... that is why I was looking for a |
| 31 |
decent tutorial that covered the topic in total, so I could hopefully |
| 32 |
get to the point that I *could* ask some intelligent questions about it... |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
One very general question I have is, how can you - or even *can* you - |
| 35 |
hide all of your internal devices from the outside world, similar to how |
| 36 |
the use of 'private' IP's behind a NAT'd firewall are hidden from the |
| 37 |
outside world (nor directly accessible). I definitely do *not* want all |
| 38 |
of my internal devices directly accessible from the internet. |
