You're welcome to have at it with the IP address in my NNTP-Posting-Host

Do you people honestly think there would be so many of these devices on
the market if they were easily compromised? You people really have an
aversion to reading up on the whole network layer firewall thing. Either
that or you're all shills being paid to spread FUD in order to encourage
average home Internet users to spend a pile of money to protect their
home LANs. http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/FUD.html
