So the old lady was hacking around the other day and thought she was forwarding all her POP3 traffic through ssh encrypted tunnels. But it turned out she got the port wrong and was instead encrypting all the UDP traffic through her routers’s gateway!!!

LADY, that doesn’t even make sense. First of all, POP3 in incoming traffic, not “outbound”. Second, POP3 is TCP, not UDP. How can you mistakenly encrypt all UDP traffic by confusing a service port inside another protocol??? You are funny, anyway.”

What Toplus said. I was kind of impressed to hear someone over the age of 65 utter the words “port 80″ but when she babbled all that other nonsense I realized it was all clearly not her words.
