  • we set up a static IP for the server, then added the DHCP service to it, we set up the start IP address
  • on each exit node, we set the IP setting to DHCP, and it automatically assigned each node its own IP

  • we added a default gateway IP (being the server's IP), allowing us access the "web" from the computers in the network

DNS - Domain name system
the domain name system translates domain names such as google.com to its IP address, this is needed as websites are found using IP addresses and not their domain name

DHCP automatically assigns network parameters such as IP, and the default gateway to computers within the network
