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 :)

 MV> That is annoying and if for that reason you refuse connections from

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.

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.

Even setting Attack Protection to Disabled + Security level = Off and configuring port forwarding?
