Sorry for the cross-post, but assume this is relevant to both lists. It's regarding the default setting of net.inet.ip.random_id to 0 This disclosure has caused a bit of a stir on the Tor-relays list starting with this post: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2014-March/004199.html FreeBSD is one of the OS's not implementing random IP IDs by default. I know OpenBSD has for a long while. I vaguely remember someone referring to some specific application compatibility with IP ID randomness in the distant past... Or should it just default to '1'? ghelp
