Standard inbound firewall rules will not protect against this because the Antminer makes outbound connections.
What kind of idiot doesn't have outbound firewall rules, particularly on their production mining network?
- tedivm 9y agoYou'd need a bit more than a standard IP firewall since the auth server can simply be moved to a different IP address. The best way to truly block it would be to block it directly on the nameservers for the network.
- gnu8 9y agoThe proper outbound firewall configuration would be default-deny with outbound connections allowed only to the hosts required. That way Antminer would have to somehow take over an IP address that was already whitelisted and run their auth server on it.
