The Domain Name System is how computers find each other's IP address from their name. The current name for the on-premises Hacklab server is [shell.hacklab.to], which currently points to the power usage monitor through NAT (Network Address Translation). A local DNS server in the lab at [http://ns.hacklab.to] takes care of the internal lab network, for devices such as [http://laser.hacklab.to]. We are changing the internal domains to a new format like this: [http://laser.in.hacklab.to]. The external / public DNS records are served by Paul's nameserver in the Netherlands, but we still have control over the root DNS records.

Normally, the Lab's internal network can only be accessed from inside the lab, by connecting to the members only Wifi or plugging into an ethernet cable. We are hoping to set up a virtual private network (VPN) in Hacklab 3.0. In the meantime, you can ssh tunnel into the lab network.
