exactly what I first thought...by the stopwatch their not

Sounds like a you problem I've had multiple FreeBSD systems on vultr for over a decade and never had sshd issues. Of course I also use an alternate port and active fail2ban to block those who insist on any brute force for any protocol. 128K active blocks currently.

Have been using vultr with very good stability for BSD systems since 2015 or so, highly recommend.

So.. like trafshow.

I met Ajit shortly after he started in his role. I specifically told him how we can track and trace back these robocalls via SS7 (at least once they hit the PSTN - SIP ingress even easier to track back to the trunks they originate), and I even had proof of concept code and examples. He seemed really excited, then did nothing. No follow-up, etc. It would only work if mandated by the FCC because there is no financial incentive for the telcos to do it.

We'll get right on that after everyone has IPv6 deployed.

I think the pressure to implement better ROA checking and something like RPKI will be much stronger than the push to IPv6 was if we keep having major route leaks multiple times a year.

Eventually some governments will have to get involved...

Neat, I shall incorporate this into my little side project that I did for fun: https://macaddresslookup.info
