This github page This blog is a github page based on jekyll now and the URL as per github convention is sudipbhandari126.github.io (It’s username.github.io) unless you set up a custom domain. As of Jan 2020, I have a custom domain setup for this at www.sudipbhandari.wtf. I had some insights into internet domains, dns and domain resolution while doing this activity. How are domains organized? All the internet domains are organized in a hierarchical fashion.

How I came to know about it So, I am a regular reddit user and it’s one of my favorites online communities. While browsing through subreddit posts, there is a feature in the reddit web-app where you have keyboard shortcuts for browsing: N for next post, P for previous post and so on. I found it very convinient and easy to use especially because you don’t have to take your hands off the keyboard.

So, what if you want to expose your locally running server to the bigger world wide web (WWW)? The answer: “port forwarding on your router and time setting up dynamic DNS solutions”. I am glad that there is a tool now which allows developers to expose their local server to the internet using a single command with a plethora of options: over secure channel, with authentication enabled and also live inspection of the requests coming to the server to name a few.
