Astaro v8.305
Why?? Why?? Why??????
I try to create a Network Def for 127.0.0.1 so that I can use it, and the GUI tells me "this is a loopback address" and won't let me create it!
Another fine example of someone putting in extra effort to code something because they thought "no one will need to do this" and leaves the thing unable to do something rather than just not wasting time and effort to code something like that which would simply allow it.
My scenario which we use all the freaking time because it's totally cool and flexible, is that we SSH into a server or router and use tunnels for various things. We have a scenario where it makes perfect sense for the destination server to SSH into the Astaro router and create a remote tunnel on it, resulting in a 127.0.0.1 with some port open on the router that would let us use it to send encrypted data to that destination server. The destination server can literally be anywhere in the world.
Could have set up a nice NAT rule to make this work, but just because of this unnecessary GUI rule, I can't. Gotta find some way around it now or something.
