Re: [newbie] Blocking @HOME with ipchains - Can they tell?
From: Ronald A. Yacketta I used @home for nearly 6 months in hotlanta. I use/used isinglass (ipchains firewal) and fwtk to block 99.9% of the crap I dont want (which included @home garbage collection) they (I presume) never knew seeing they never mentioned anything to me. I am currently do the same thing with roadrunner. Ron "Eric L. Damron" [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 10/30/99 03:36:23 AM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:(bcc: Ronald A. Yacketta/958157/EKC) Subject: [newbie] Blocking @HOME with ipchains - Can they tell? I got tired of @HOME running scans on my system so I blocked them with: ipchains -I input -p TCP -s 24.4.254.140 -d 0/0 80 -j DENY -l ipchains -I input -p TCP -s 24.4.254.141 -d 0/0 80 -j DENY -l Can they tell that they're blocked or does it just look like I'm not running any services? Thanks.

Re: [newbie] Blocking @HOME with ipchains - Can they tell?
Are they running scans because they disallow running servers on home accounts? When I spoke to the salesguy, he told me that it's okay to run any server as long as the 128k/sec upload barrier will suffice for my needs. Is the salesguy just blowing smoke?

That is why he did not care. I have never seen 128k on a regular basis. Hey guys checkout the ATT mess where they stopped service, even said they have problems etc.. Now checkout Toshiba. They payout in a settlement worth over a billion for a bullshit case, the two people who started the class never had a problem (the problem being the data transfer to and from the floppy) and the lawyer gets 147 million. This is screwed up.

Seve He actualy means kilobits not bytes(*), the acceptable use poilicy says you will not run any servers on thier network, however they may have laxed this after implementing the 128 upstream limits. (*) This isn't always exact either as it differs noc by noc, here in Denver they believe this means kbits not kbytes, while in michigan(sp?) the techs interpreted this as kbytes. So in Colorado its 16KB, yet in Michigan it's 128KB. Now here is the tricky part, the only way to know is to talk to a tech in your town (doesn't happen unless they are installing the modem or replaceing it), talk to someone who has the service and have them test it. -Original Message- From: Eric L.

Yes they can tell its a firewall. your machine will DENY packets routed to it but not destined for it. Note that ip is a proxy, in washington.
