  • Whitelisting LAN connections

    From Patch@21:1/101 to All on Thu Nov 2 08:51:49 2023
    I've been toying around with DNS records to create my own sub-domain to connect to the BBS.

    I've beat my head against the wall as it wasn't connecting, then I looked at the server device where the BBS is hosted, and noticed that Mystic had blocked the connection from local IPs.

    I attempted to add two of the main IPs in the whitelist, but that didn't work. Can someone point me in the right direction to allow local LAN communications?

    to my way of thinking the whitelist option you mention should negate the issues your having, are you whitelisting IPv6 or IPv4 addresses, using a wildcard notation of defining specific IP?
