Hello Wilfred,

On Monday March 06 2023 15:18, you wrote to me:

The obvious action would be to vote with the feet and change DNS provider...

 WV> Maybe they should use a more obvious fake adres, something like
 WV> 127.0.0.1 ...?

Or something that really gets nowhere like 192.0.0.8 or 192.0.2.0.

 MvdV>> To avoid calling these nodes by their fake IPv4 address they

 WV> It doesn't check for the INO4 flag, so that is by accident.

Then perhaps the script should be updated...


Cheers, Michiel
