Network Is Like An Apartment Building
Your home network is like an apartment building: (Overall Metaphor)
- The optical modem is the gatekeeper on the first floor—everything coming in or going out must pass through them.
- The Cudy router is your “all-purpose personal assistant” living in your room—you only deal with it.
- Your own devices (phone, computer) are like you, always asking your assistant for help getting online.
- The SSR proxy node is the “foreign translator friend” that your assistant contacts when needed.
Scenario: You want to visit Google, but Google is overseas and the gatekeeper doesn’t allow you to leave the country directly.
Going Out: You Want to Access Google
- You tell your assistant (Cudy): “Please open the Google website for me.”
- Your assistant knows you can’t go abroad directly.
- So it contacts its foreign translator friend (proxy node), saying: “My master wants to view the Google site—can you check it out for them?”
- The assistant sends this request through the gatekeeper (optical modem).
- The gatekeeper sees that the assistant sent the message—no problem, it lets it pass.
Coming Back: Google’s Response Returns
- The translator friend visits Google for you and retrieves the webpage.
- Then they package the page → send it back to your home → hand it to the gatekeeper.
- The gatekeeper checks: “Oh, this is a reply to the message Cudy (your assistant) sent earlier. Let it through.”
- So the message safely reaches your assistant.
- Your assistant (Cudy) receives it, translates it into a format you can understand, and hands it to you (your device).
- You open your browser—and voilà, Google loads just fine!
In Summary: Throughout the entire process, the gatekeeper (optical modem) has no idea you’re viewing Google. All it sees is your assistant (Cudy) sending and receiving messages. Everything appears legal and normal.
- You didn’t travel abroad yourself;
- Your assistant contacted a friend overseas for you;
- The reply was naturally allowed back in;
- You didn’t need to configure anything yourself—it looks like you just opened Google directly.
Now it all makes sense, doesn’t it?
