   Hello, Michiel!   
      
   Sunday September 29 2024 11:33, you wrote to me:   
      
    MV> But you accepted a connection from 2:280/464.5555...   
      
   Was it some kind of secuirty penetration test? :)   
      
    MV> Anyway, my fiberglas connection supports IPv6 as you can see. *1)   
      
   Never had even a single doubt about that :)   
      
    DP>> We have a very weird guy in R50 who is sending multi-GB pkts and   
    DP>> zip bombs from the TOR network and public proxies to my node.   
      
    MV> That is annoying and if for that reason you refuse connections from   
    MV> unlisted systems you should fly the LO flag. You do not...   
      
   I do accept connections, but not always and not from everyone. There is no   
   such flag in nodelist and if you want to connect to my system - you should   
   request a link or contact your NC to reappear in nodelist.   
   LO flag means I'll have to refuse all connections from unlisted nodes, but   
   this is not what I want.   
      
    DP>> Good! Let's make this world better.   
      
    MV> I am listed in today's daily.   
      
   The problem is that I only update the nodelist weekly. Please wait.   
      
    DP>> For processing echomail from node that is not in nodelist.   
      
    MV> Unlisted, but not unknown.   
      
   Unknown to my system. If you want to be always known - you have to establish   
   link. Or buy me some beer :) You decide.   
      
    DP>> You may not actually be "Michiel van der Vlist", but rather one   
    DP>> of his virtual identities. According to the nodelist, the real   
    DP>> Michiel van der Vlist left Fidonet in June   
      
    MV> Those alleged virtual identities would not have the matching   
    MV> passwpords to have the connection accepted and the echomail processed.   
    MV> That is why passwords were invented.   
      
   I do not know how 2:5020/1042 created your messages. May be some kind of PGP   
   signed mail is a good thing after all.   
   Passwords are useless in our case.   
      
    MV> Anyway, we are getting off-topic.   
      
    MV> To get back on topic:   
      
    MV> *1) My fiberglass connection supports IPv6 but to my annoyance there   
    MV> still is a problem with incoming IPv6 connetctions. The modem/router   
    MV> that they supply (Nokia XS-2426G-B) has no functioning method to   
    MV> create an IPv6 pinhole in the firewall. :-(   
      
   Even setting Attack Protection to Disabled + Security level = Off and   
   configuring port forwarding?   
      
   Best regards,   
                dp.
