Thus spake Jason Evans <jsevans@mailfence.com>
Last weekend I tried setting up a VM to provide cached Usenet articles using >> Leafnode. I set it up to work with two servers: Eternal-September and the
paid service I use, Usenetnow. I have no problem logging into either
service on port 119 or 563 from my PC. I set up Leafnode to use the
standard unencrypted port 119 for compatibility reasons
in /etc/news/leafnode/config (using Debian 12). However, the result was
that Eternal-September refused to let me log in
and the reason was that leafnode tried to download more than 50.000
articles from E-S, which got both your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
blacklisted in the firewall.
