We could have assisted you here.It seems you were just happy with Zuku.On Tue, 12 Jan 2021 at 15:30, John K. via skunkworks <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:Hi,I'm not a network expert, have a very simple setup. Killed the wifi network offered by saf/zuku, and use my own Asus router to host my wifi network that is then wired to the saf/zuku one. I ended up going back to zuku, Safcom support were unable to assist me, so they lost a client hivyo tu. Zuku nothing is blocked, works as expected.Regards,John K._______________________________________________On Fri, 8 Jan 2021 at 13:01, Laban Mwangi <lmwangi@gmail.com> wrote:Yes, I also got hit by this issue. Additionally, I had setup the Safcom modem as a bridge (with a Ubiquiti edge router as the PPPOE client [1] & router). They reset their device to the default router mode & locked me out. :/ A really meh experience! I’m considering going back to JTL...Aside: The edge router is a really nifty device. Esp if you flash it with OpenWRT, you can do:* DNS blacklists (block naughty sites for kids)* Traffic shaping & priority queue,* Multiwan bonding,* Wireguard VPN server (To access your home lan remotely)* Wake Up on LAN (remotely boot up your home PC for ssh)* Run asterisk (or )With a huge RAM (256MB vs typical 8MB) & ROM space (250MB vs typical 32MB) ,Full Gigabit with POE goodness, In fact, it’s a no brainer if you are looking at the TPLinks/et al to consider this [2][3].Cheers,LabanOn 16 Dec 2020, at 20:09, John K. via skunkworks <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:Thanks for the suggestions but virtually any port I try is blocked.

Firewalls have rules that block that port because of spam

Hi,
Anyone here who has forwarded ports to an internal server on Safaricom home fibre noticed ports seem to be blocked now? It has been fine for ages, suddenly stopped around 25th November.
Wondering if it's just an isolated incident or is happening to other users.
