 Your linux based Blocks server comes with software letting it can act as a DHCP and/or DNS server for your local network. A DHCP server provides automatic addressing to PIXILAB Player and other network devices set to use automatic addressing. The DNS allows for local name resolution, such as resolving the doman name pixi.guide to the IP address of your server. Using service names rather than raw IP addresses makes it easier to change addressing in the future and is also required for some advanced functions, such as encrypted connections ([[blocks:server:https|HTTPS]]). Your linux based Blocks server comes with software letting it can act as a DHCP and/or DNS server for your local network.
