Firewall Fun: pf, tables, and state

I hate firewalls. Hate them. If you are using pf and wish to block a specific ip address using a simple table and a block quick rule it turns out just adding an ip to the table isn’t enough… pf wont actually block a new ip if it already has state information about it, instead it continues to let all traffic through. The solution is to remove all the state rules for the ip too:

pfctl -t blacklist -T add 123.123.123.123
pfctl -k 123.123.123.123

LoL + Firewall Problems

Since upgrading my router to a Billion BiPAC 7800N I’ve been having trouble joining a new game in LoL; it sometimes takes up to 3 retries just to get to the loading screen. After connecting all is well but it’s a little annoying having to wait around every game. After doing some searching this seems to be a common problem with this router. Luckily there is a easy fix (even if it makes little sense). In the router configuration under Advanced -> Configuration -> QoS add a new QoS item.

  • Application: LoL
  • Direction: LAN to WAN
  • Protocol: TCP
  • Priority: High
  • Internal Port: 5000 ~ 5500
  • External Port: 5000 ~ 5500 Leave the all the other questions default and click
  • Add

With any luck, LoL will be back to normal.

League of Legends Login Screen

Riot make some pretty nice login screens for their game League of Legends. They are frequently changing as they make a new one for each new champion released. The latest champion, Vi, has one the best login screens so far in my opinion. You can of course view it by downloading Lead of Legends, but I’ve also made a copy available here (may take a minute to load).

Reseting Saved Password in Eudora

I was having trouble updating the password used for SMTP in Eudora 7. I couldn’t find a way to enter a new password, or get the client to forget the currently saved password. (Maybe be an issue with Gmail server sending a generic error message, rather than telling the client they have the wrong username/password?)

To manually reset the saved password in Eudora 7, close Eduora and find the Eduora.ini file located in:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user account>\Application Data\Qualcomm\Eudora\

Change the following lines from:

SavePassword=1
SavePasswordText=<randomtext>

To:

SavePassword=0
SavePasswordText=

Next time Eduora tries to send mail it will ask for a new password.

On a side note: Eduora apparently store passwords in plain text in an ini file… (Base64 doesn’t count).
