I have the urgent need to address the following things that are currently bothering me. The current development of the wiki does not give me much pleasure. I have already been in contact with the author about this. I'm especially concerned about what I see as an extremely wrong balance between having enough pictures and information to understand, but not being recognized as a picture book or "idiot guide" on the other hand.
Furthermore there is a discrepancy of understanding. Either I am totally wrong or the author is. Whereby I would like the latter more ;-)
It is about the definition DMZ Pinhole. My understanding is that this is used regardless of whether orange is involved or not, i.e. if you want to get from one isolated, separate network to the next, that's a DMZ pinhole for me. For the author it is a blue green pinhole.
Therefore he created/changed the pages
https://wiki.ipfire.org/configuration/firewall/default-policyhttps://wiki.ipfire.org/configuration/firewall/accesstoblue
And created a "picture book". The only thing that is "missing" is the marking of which key to press...
https://wiki.ipfire.org/configuration/firewall/rules/bg-holes
Urgent clarification is requested on my part.
As it looks to me the author only promotes a new generation of copy and paste professionals. It seems to me that he has only considered that he wants to help everyone. What this can cause is not considered. The style how the whole was formulated rounds it then down. It reminds me somehow a small child to motivate and to hold out to the end. We're almost there...just this...hang in there....
I may be too dogged about the latter. Probably I'm just too old ;-)
What annoys me most about the whole story is the fact that this informations are many years written and has already been changed several times. So already many have looked over the Doku. Regardless of whether one is now right with something or not, if someone brings forward an objection then at least for me the absolute logical consequence is that this must be discussed! Until its resolved! If necessary you ask someone else to join the party to provide who has there now right. To change it anyway with the words ~ "I have not understood that way, that has nothing to do with it for me" does not make it automatically right for all others. This train of thought is totally alien to me and also completely unacceptable!
It is important to me that the whole thing is not understood as pure criticism. My only interest is whether the wiki is correct and meaningful or false and unnecessary.
The only reason why I post it here publicly is because there was no progress in the conversation between 4 eyes. And someone from the IPF Team i asked before this step, gave me the advice to ask here.
