Everything is down to what your router does.
Which in the vast majority of small installations (e.g. homes) is _also_ working as a NAT device and performs some filtering and basic firewall functions. Or, at least I hope the device you have does, it's hard to get one that doesn't.

The world knows you by the IP that your ISP has assigned.
Sure, call it 198.3.160.206/24 (outside interface).

Let's then assume that the inside interface of the firewall is 192.168.12.1/24 and the systems A & B are on .11 and .12.

The only way that A or B are not publicly addressable is if you're not connected to the Internet.
Not correct if they are using RFC1918 addresses when pretty much by definition they are not "publicly addressable". If you have a single system directly connected to the ISP (without NAT/etc), then yes, that system will get the 198 address and be publicly accessible, but that's only ONE system. The only way for A and B to both be publicly addressable is if the ISP gives each on a separate IP and if routes exist to them.

BTW, "publicly accessible" means that datagrams from anywhere outside can be routed to a specific system, not that the system can send datagrams outbound.


192.168.0.xxx does not route to the Internet.
More correctly, the router does not have a _route_ for that network and even if it did, the next hop would black-hole the datagrams.

Do those 4 statements fit together in your mind? If not, ask.
Looked like 3, but never mind that.


...this is networking 101...
Yes, please study it, you seem to be mistaken in how things work and general network engineering practice.

z!
