• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Dropping TTL 0 and 1

A couple curiosities:

I've seen a few home/sb routers whose firewall will drop a TTL of not only 0, but 1 as well. Any thoughts on why this is?

Does it make sense to drop even a TTL 0 at the home router level? The packet has already gone through the internets and is now on the cusp of your private network. Why discard it now? Security repercussions?

Thanks.
