But I find it exciting that devices in the LAN can be       individually IPv6 pinged from the outside.              Some say this is a security risk. I think the risk is minimal.              Note that although ping is not needed, blocking all IPv6 ICMP has negative       effects.               TK> Also telnet to her bbs works fine.              Good.                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 19/10 90/1 120/340 123/131 203/0 221/0 6 226/30 227/702       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 550 664 1016 240/5138 5411 5824 5832 5853 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 250/1 280/464 5003 5006 5555 310/31 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 460/58 633/280 640/1384 712/848 2452/250       SEEN-BY: 2454/119 5019/40 5020/545 1042 12000 5053/58       PATH: 280/5555 240/5832 229/426           |
