Are we in control of the server with this IP? If
so, we should turn it
off and hold onto the IP to prevent future logging without having to update
every peoples open node out there. If someone else is in control of the
server, we need to find out who they are and get it from them.

Hi Daniel -
Thanks for sharing this and asking for opinions.
Personally, I am fan of keeping as little identifiable information
around as possible. The mesh prototol itself already provides plenty of
information about other nodes, so from where I am standing, I don't see the
immediate need for centralized logging beyond keeping a temporary log of
mesh routing tables.
Also, I'd say that the great thing (and bad thing) about centralized
logging servers is that they can be easily turned off.
Hoping I can join a lively discussion on this for the next meeting.
thx,
-jorrit

Update:
I also notified about this finding to folks that are part of the mesh
Signal Messaging group, and so far the person replying says that it may be
a centralized log Server. A link (
https://github.com/sudomesh/su
dowrt-firmware/issues/68 ) was also provided, about an issue in github
that talks about the implementation of this Syslog Server.
After reading the issue on github, I checked on the /var/log/messages
file.
This log file collects all the HostNames, IP address, and MAC address of
all connecting devices (computers, phones, iPads, AppleTVs, etc) to the
Mesh and Private networks.
Even though I understand the need for logs for troubleshooting purposes,
I would like to know others folks thoughts about this collection.
Are you okay with this?
How critical is to have these log files?
Is possible for Peoples Open Network to be part of the "No Logs, No
Masters" idea?
With the absolute intention of making the PON stronger and safer,
Daniel

What's up with this? You may want to Check your node. The one I have
has this constant connection to a Server log ("100.64.0.10:514")?
Are all PON nodes pushing logs to a remote location, or is t just me?
I SSH to my PON node and while checking for current connections I see
this established connection "100.64.0.10:514 (Syslog Server?)?
Been refreshing for about 20+ minutes and the connection seems constant.
Can someone please explain this?
Daniel
