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 On Tue, 2017-10-03 at 23:49 -0700, danarauz(a)gmail.com wrote: 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/ sudowrt-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 On Tue, Oct 3, 2017 at 9:04 PM, danarauz(a)gmail.com &lt;danarauz(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: screenshot attached.

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?

Jehan, and Jorrit thank you for replying. We part of the same group of fans, Jorrit. *Last Night, Web Interface:* Last night I logged onto the node as root via the web interface, and while there I came across the "Logging" section (System>System Properties>Logging). In this section I removed the buffer size, external system log server's IP number, and the external system log server port number; saving, applying the changes, and then rebooting the node. *Tonight (2017-10-04), SSH:* This evening I followed up someone's lead and I checked on the node via SSH, and reached out to the file that handles the logging settings. The path is: /etc/config/system. While on it I remarked additional items, rebooted the node, logged back in, and last I checked for connections; the log server is not longer connected. It possibly was not connected from last night, but I didn't check that then. It was more sleepy than awake. :) FYI, I may most likely not coming to next meeting on Tuesday; that is why I typed here what I thought was useful information. Hasta luego!
