[Mesh] 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")?

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
