This is the case all the time a connection is being established, no firewall and not NAT can prevent that because they explicitly allow that communication to make communication possible. If operating systems or applications are vulnerable to such attacks, they are itself the fault and this fault can only be fixed at the OS/application level, not by NAT or outside firewalls. -- Gruß Marco Send unsolicited bulk mail to 1745615395mu...@cartoonies.org -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
