Sorry for that. I always delete my "commercial" default signature on mailinglists, but obviously missed the last line this time.Yo Tor! On Thu, 16 Apr 2020 08:27:42 +0200 Tor Rune Skoglund <address@hidden> wrote:<deleted>Never gonna happen. Please don't spem this list.
This is UNIX: do one thing do it well. gpsd does GNSS well. Leave the firewall stuff to the firewall people.I see your point, Gary, but there are situations where firewall/iptables settings do not necessarily easily apply,Really? Since you mention iptables, instead of nftables, time for you to go study modern firewall tech. Or hire a fire guru for 30 minutes.like when using various types of container solution with shared networking and such. Therefore, the option to specify specific ip addresses or interfaces til listen on would be good to have.Really? I'm sure there are many people on this list that would have no troubles solving this with a few lines of nft. Back to your original point, I would look at any MR on this, whatever it is (interfaces, IPs, etc.). If only to put this issue behind us as it keep popping up.
Our suggestion is to have to option to specify which IPs to bind to, e.g. using something like
-I <comma-separated-list-of-ip-addresses>As said, we want to help to get this done, but if someone else steps in, that would also be very fine.
