### My Use-Case
There are many types of servers and different use-cases. While I want this guide to be as generic as possible, there will be some things that may not apply to all/other use-cases. Use your best judgement when going through this guide.
To help put context to many of the topics covered in this guide, my use-case/configuration is:
- A desktop class computer...
- With a single NIC...
- Connected to a consumer grade router...
- Getting a dynamic WAN IP provided by the ISP...
- With WAN+LAN on IPV4...
- And LAN using [NAT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation)...
- That I want to be able to SSH to remotely from unknown computers and unknown locations (i.e. a friend's house).
