I wonder if we could use the numeric IP addressees, e.g. 120.44.88.22. We’ve always had numeric phone numbers and it works pretty well. We could each have our little “DNS server” like we have our phone number lookups in our phones.
We need some tech savy people like you to start a thread to instruct dummies like me.
Multi-hop VPN’s with MIT’s Riffle software on the horizon will spoof many routine IP address seekers....unless one draws specific attention due criminal activity . Just my opinion of course.
Stay Safe !
