Re: [cobalt-developers] Strange errors in mail log

[Ulrich Klar - mobil <uli.klar@xxxxxxx>]

Paul,

I know it isn#t the perfect solution but please use the Adaptive 
Firewall and block those ports for IP addresses not beeing trusted or 
not in your LAN. This works for me and it is much better than the 
inbuild kernel firewall.

You get the Adaptive Firewall via BlueLinQ and it's free.

Please don't use the latest kernelupdate for the Qube. Stay with kernel 
version OS 6.4

Regards

Uli
