How about keeping to the point?

Are hostages and prisoners the same, in your mind?

“Ok”

Hostages doesn’t get trials.

She does.

I mean. Someone will have to maintain the same kind of infrastructure that visa and mastercard does. It would require a monumental amount of investment. Not to mention that it can, under no circumstances, go down during peak use.

1. Vote locally

2. Run locally

If you can rally people behind a cause, go for it.

Other than that. Nothing really. Try to spend money with those that align with your values.

Unrelated, but likely more important. Donate to charity, or help the homeless in your own community.

Now this is the kind of trolling i can get behind. Only hurts those that somehow hadn’t read the book at that point.

I think the packets take one way in, and get routed a different way out.

It looks incredibly convoluted. My best guess is that traffic hits 172.168.1.254 and gets routed out on the internet and doesn’t pass the dmz.

Then i assume there is something wrong in the routes from your lan when returning traffic that got initiated through the internet opnsense. If you can see traffic hit the LAN network, all should be well on the way in.

Perhaps some sessions on the way time out due to low TTL. I’ve experienced drops of traffic when there are too many hops.

Its possible, depending on how you’ve setup your NAT, that the traffic cant return due to coming from a public ip.

Why do you have public ip-span configured as LAN?
