Show HN: Chat with people who share the same Internet connection (= IP address) (ipchat.org)

17 points by kkovacs 6mo ago ↗ HN

I built a simple, ephemeral chat service that connects you only with users who share the exact same public IP address as you.

It's essentially a temporary, isolated chat room defined by your NAT gateway.

It's not super useful nowadays, but let's see where this takes us. :)

  temporary,
  dynamic.

Yeah, it should probably be /64 for IPv6

I guess this could be fun for people using shared VPN and proxy services

Is the source published somewhere? I would love to run this on premises.
