    I mean… OK then just remember the IP addresses of the sites you use and don’t use the domain names?

      That will be a problem for sites that are all hosted on one IP address where the server figures out what site you want by the client’s request string.

            Thats because of how you set it up. If you want individual IP addresses for all your resources, you can get a huge chunk of IPv6 addresses just for yourself. You can get a /48 (65,536) addresses if you set it up with your ISP.

          It is.

          Of course there are alternatives if you give up using the host header, like routing by URL. But that’s difficult when the URL is encrypted, meaning SSL has to be terminated at the proxy.

        See? If you don’t like DNS, you don’t have to use DNS, it’s not so hard.

        And IPv6 won’t be that much harder, it’s only… uh… 32 hex digits you’ll have to remember, for each website. No big deal.

          Did you know we have these things called computer files that can store information. There’s even one in your router specifically for storing IP addresses

        30 years ago we had to remember phone numbers, now ip addresses. We are going in circles.
