I am simply confused how it happened, because every consumer router I have ever used in the past decade defaults to not exposing devices.

- dathinab 2y agoWhich still doesn't mean exposing everything publicly, but that is a different discussion. In general I agree, most people affected probably didn't choose to expose the port it just "somehow accidentally happened".

- shakna 2y agoThe wonderful setup of Telstra's Technicolor, at least the one I'm mandated to use by some great NBN contracting, automatically exposes: + All ports below 505. + Any port requested by NAT. + Any DynDNS request. The printer made a NAT request, and now it's public.
- andersa 2y agoWow, that is terrible!
