  • block 70.42.244.140 port 5678 on your routers asap
    Have been digging a little more in the little time I have spare at the moment - Seems DNS blacklists/redirect are not fully successfull. Even though I have redirected the domains sling.com, slingbox.com and slingmedia.com to a local "HoneyPod" on my lan it still appears that the slingbox is trying to talk to 67.148.153.136 and 67.148.153.250 on the internet which it can not get to since I shutdown all internet...

Just concerned about what your router is doing when blocking "slingbox.com" does it just do a DNS lookup and block that IP? In my packet capture there's... Source: over 1 year ago
  • HARD RESET AFTER 11/9
    It appears that the automatic update comes from some path on sling.com because blocking slingbox.com alone still allowed a firmware update. Source: over 1 year ago
