$ startx is just a long wrapper script that runs many (mostly unneeded) commands. Try running $ xinit -- -nolisten tcp -tst instead of $ startx . Most people shouldn't need anything else.Quote:
Most probably, the authentication process sends some signature packets that allow you to access the Internet and that would not normally be sent by an operating system otherwise.

Aside from that I see that sometimes OpenBSD TCP connections hang for a few seconds, when I tell that I want or don't want to use some network interface (I mean ifconfig <interface> up or down). Probably this is related to ongoing modernization of the OpenBSD network stack. Some software uses TCP as IPC (inter-process communication), but instead it should use Unix domain socket provided network communication is not required.

I don't have experience with PPPoE protocol, but if I was you, I would read this first:
Code:
man npppd man pppd man ppp man pppoe

The use of Windows IS interesting. Of course a closed source system would be what the govt would want - to hinder work-arounds. This kind of implies a lot of help from Microsoft.
I seem to recall a few years back, MS was promoting the idea of a mandatory single sign-in to access the internet. That would probably put them in the driver's seat, for the reason mentioned in my first sentence. Of course with most of the world's PCs already Windows, they're already in the "driver's seat" LOL Last edited by rons; 28th August 2017 at 01:39 PM. |

Although true, in this case the main, or only, reason is almost no one in China knows there are other operating systems. When I tell people I do not use Windows the usual answer is an incredulous "How does your computer work?" The government sees no need to make the internet available to the tiny number of people not using THE OS.
