Few hobbyists have more than one IPv4 address these days. Having       moe than one is unusual by itself. Having them via a VPN is even more unusual.       You may be the only one in Fidonet.                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 15/2 19/10 123/1970 154/10 203/0 221/0 6 226/17 229/107 354       SEEN-BY: 229/426 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 5006 5555       SEEN-BY: 292/624 854 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 393/68 423/120 460/58       SEEN-BY: 633/280 640/1384 712/848 770/1 2452/250 3828/7 5019/40 5020/545       SEEN-BY: 5020/1042 12000 5053/58       PATH: 280/5555 464 229/426           |
