Usually a lurker.
Maybe I should’ve just shut up and thought for a bit longer before writing that comment…

If you want to talk to me elsewhere, you know how to reach me.

  • You checked if you have a DS-Lite contract? Those are very popular. Especially with O2, Vodafone and the fiber ISPs.
    The problem: You get only an IPv4 CG-NAT IP and a regular IPv6 IP. If your ISP (for example at work) did not configure an IPv6, you will not be able to connect (A and AAAA DNS records).
    I assume you set up the port forwarding in your Fritzbox (under Internet > Freigaben > Portfreigaben)?
    If it has the proper external port connected to your internal port it should connect.








  • Are you ignoring what I wrote earlier in the same thread?

    Probably only on a targeted attack. I don’t see it being a mass target attack like a worm could be. And in the realm of businesses, how many programs are running in kernel level besides the antivirus/ED(P)R solution?

    Anyway. Counter question: Why do you think gamers appear as a more valuable target with the anti cheat as a possible attack vector vs a business running literally the same CPU line-up but with fewer kernel level programs?

    My personal opinion: You can’t extract as much money from private folks vs a business through blackmail and other solutions. Not in a wide casted attack.
    Targeted individuals can be assumed to be at a higher risk (e.g. hacking their private devices like the gaming pc and then doing home office work in the same network, or misusing trust in the home network between pc and phone and then installing malware like pegasus).
    But again: Not in a wide casted net. And you are probably better of using the good exploits for higher value targets.
