Therefore, in my point of view, introduced `LD_PRELOAD` method is obsolete and I do not recommend using it anymore (I actually found it quite buggy, too). I leave it for legacy purposes if someone finds it useful, anyway. + ## About In many home networks, WAN (Wide Area Network) IP addresses are dynamically allocated by a local ISP.
