Keep a copy of the current (Amazon) saved iptables file, just in case you have to revert to them in the future. |

Just saw this when executing showlog -f, is there any reason for concern? The packets are exiting via wlan-out

Just shows that it is working as intended.
I.E: the packet "drop" target is the cause of the "operation not permitted" message. Which is correct, the purpose is to not permit the Kindle to call home in that address range. - - - - Note: It would be more correct (and/or better) if I had used the "reject" target rather than the "drop" target. But, the stock Kindle firmware build did not include the "reject" target. Duh... |

My PW is associated with an Italian account (mine), should I change anything in the filter list or is the "Big Brother" universal?
Thanks knc1 |

The list is getting fairly old, there may have been some additions to the Amazon network.
But once established, they are part of their network system (mostly served by their "cloud" service - an international abstraction). I do not expect that there are any "country local" addresses. |

When reading an e-book the BBB filter blocks the translation feature and wikipedia, there's no way to enable these functions while BBB activated?

The filter rules that are installed by default allow the user two choices: * Call home * Don't call home - - - - Note: If you have BBB installed to block over the air updates - rather than preventing communications with the Amazon network, then; There is a better solution to that control problem - the "Backdoor Lock" |

Unlocks custom ACX widgets. Also provides one for Google Translate. ACXs enable options in the popup dialogs. I am sure someone could write a widget to lookup wikipedia without using Amazon servers.The translation replacement should already do so. |

About wikipedia.acx, do you think about making acx with automatic search feature like amazon? Will be a good feature. And eschwartz, can see this topic? https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...79#post2910979 is about duokan and fonts. |

Also, font packages. Install those, which we support, rather than install Doukan. PS: Eschwartz already replied to the post you linked to above. |

I'm facing an issue with BBB as it seems working, but I get no reports at all.
pw1 with 5.3.4 and jailbreak 1.14 kual 2.5 and BBB 1.0.0 and datetime 1.0.1 (and others btw) I feel the BBB firewall is active because my pw1 doesn't start downloading ebooks from Amazon (I know I have a queue there, which's waiting for wifi!). WiFi is working of course. datetime reports correctly. Every option of the BBB menu dosn't report anything and quickly jump home (for about a second commands appear in the left bottom corner e.g. "bin/load-bbb.sh"). In the documents folder the BBB-LastAction.txt exists, but it is outdated. Thank for any help p.s. not sure, but the "generate packet report" button seems greyed out Last edited by pgfiore; 03-05-2015 at 10:22 AM. |
