Hello, Michiel!

Sunday September 29 2024 17:42, you wrote to me:

From current nodelist:

LO        Node accepts calls Only from Listed

There is nothing about "some of them", the description is pretty strict - "Only from Listed".
Could you please cite any Fidonet document along with your interpretation?

 MV> That is not MY problem.

It's not my problem either. You have to live with that. There are no other options available for you at this moment.

Looks like someone decided to skip proper firewall implementation :(

 DP>> and configuring port forwarding?

 MV> Port forwarding is for IPv4, Yes that works.

Oh, I'll never going to use Vodafone, thanks for details.

Best regards,
             dp.
