Question

Iron

What device do you need and what network settings should it have?

Answer 1

Well, at least read the definition of what DHT is ...
This is a distributed table. This means that the network is peer-to-peer and not controlled by you personally. You can only be a node in this network, you cannot expand it.
More precisely, you can, of course, but for this you need to release a product, each running instance of which will participate in your own DHT. Here, only you are free to build new multi-colored bicycles.
No features for the equipment are required, the traffic is penny. The only thing is that the nodes must have a white address and an open port to receive connections, or somehow use neighboring peers that already have a connection with the target peers to break through ports. Also, it is desirable to maintain a more or less constant uptime for peers in order to adequately balance the distribution of data.
I also noticed IPv6 in your tags, if so, then there will be no problems with it at all.
