Router firewall issues.
 

I am having some issues with my router and setting up firewall rules.

There is a way I can get the forum up but there may be some outages as I progress through adjusting the settings.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Ok done with the adjustments for now.
Carry on

Sheesh, c'mon Kato13, no Russian porn pop-up ads? :p

We did have an attempted hacking from the eastern Ukraine, but it was a clumsy brute force attack so our normal security handled it. That was not related to the changes I made thought. They were for additional functionality on my gaming/demo server.

I will probably have to reset the router to factory setting as it is still a bit wonky (it will take changes but will not show them in the summary). I will probably need a full day outage at some point in the future to reset the router, clean the server fans, rewire some stuff and perform a OS upgrade on this box.

Generally my goal would be to give a weeks notice, but if something else takes us down I might just do all that stuff at once. So if there is a longer than normal outage don't worry.

Warning to all
 

To All

I would take this attempted hack into the forum as a warning, as stated in the article here:

http://www.theguardian.com/world/201...-cyber-attacks

NATO has already had attacks on it's public websites, thses have aimed at a denial of service (DDoS)

I supect that is a effort to control what information is spread about the Ukraine, I am thinking someone did a google search and the Ukranie fun and games thread popped up.

NATO said the attacks were foiled as they were very basic which would fit with what happened here.

I don't want to say to people don't talk about it, as I am a huge defender of free speach, but remember people are watching what is posted it.

In closing I would like to say hi to folks at the NSA and CSE

Whoa, you think Ivan knows about this site?

Dudes! We're like, famous, or something! :D:p

Never mind Ivan.... anyone been followed by some vans with dark tinted windows? Homeland Security caught us!!

Happens to me all the time. I just flash them my wedding tackle and they go away.

Ohhhhh....Is THAT who is in that dark van??!!?? Oh well, I guess I have been on their radar for a LONG time. This board, others, discussions with friends....

I will see the rest of you down in Guantanamo...At least it will be warm, away from the crazy winter we had this year...
