Firewall - stealth mode connection attempts from AEBS to computer

Console log is packed with Info messages realted to connection attempts from AEBS router. Is that normal?


also, system profiler states: Firewall Logging: No / Stealth Mode: No. Why the discrepancy?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7), assorted apple products

VPN actually uses "tun0" when it's connected & doesn't appear when VPN is off.

VPN can use various interfaces, because there is no single standard that defines what VPN is. You may have used a 'tun' tunnel interface, for instance, for OpenSSH, but you'd probably use gif to build one over IPsec. The manpage


$ man gif


will give you the nitty-gritty.


Such details aside, it's good to know the mystery has cleared. Thanks for letting us know.
