1. yea
2. For the users to host anything, they would need to have some server program. The users could modify this server program to read incoming IPs or do other things with the information they are given.
3. I'm talking about installing software to run the server. As far as I know (which isn't saying much), routers don't let users modify their programming (except for maybe updates).
4. I… don't understand.
5. Yea, I guess.

(This is all with the assumption that the devices hosting the cloud servers will download a software to run the server, and then connect to the scratch servers through their router.)

1. Lemme rephrase this, it's within the margin of error with many users who have desktops.
2. And… You realize there would be a preset server, right?
And a middle man server.
3. You don't need to update your router though. It just tells all machines on the network incoming information, and allows them to otherwise communicate with other machines.
4. Turning off your computer is a bad habit you shouldn't get into.

As a web developer, it's incredibly easy to setup a server. And it can be as easy as instructing the user to input value into PowerShell or the terminal to install all prerequisites.
The router would need absolutely no modifications

Yeah, my parents turn if my computer when I tell them not to

I honestly support this, this could be used to make some really cool technical projects and perhaps take a bit of strain off of scratch's servers .

Yes, somebody could find your IP address, but any person with sufficient knowledge to run such a cloud server probably knows the (very minor) risks. Knowing somebody's IP address is almost never a security risk in of itself anyways.

Exactly. Don't believe in VPN ads, you can't know credit cards or stuff from an IP.
