Then you have        CS> iptables blocking you out and you won't be able to get back in =)              Understood, and Mystic already has a solution built-in. Just be sure to add       the addresses you commonly connect from to the mystic/data/allowlist.txt; that       way the system will never lock you out. And, if you are using the 4       connections in 120 secs suggested setting, the likelihood of locking yourself       out is pretty small. (unless of course your are testing ssh settings and you       keep trying options that fail..., ask me how I know?!? :) )              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
