Dear Author,
[1:40 and so on] IP v6 address which you used (fe80::...etc) is a link local address and it is not routable, and can be used for communication only on the local network. I guess that you should use inet6 address which is below (2600::...etc).

Thanks for your effort for the discussion of DNS.

Is it possible to create the same SRV records for using SSH protocol in cloudflare ?? Cox i would love to create a hostname without sharing IP to the end user

I am still not clear on the purpose of SRV. Why would I need a non-standard port for SMTP?

But the DNS SRV records aren't just for mail servers, are they ? The video kind of implies that they are.
