Heads up, if you're running a mining farm or have anything behind a SonicWall, there’s a serious vulnerability out there. Better update your devices ASAP. SonicWall usually has the firmware available for free unless you’ve got something ancient. Just do it. - Dave

I just noticed a typo in the title, fixed it now. Should’ve caught that earlier, my bad.

Lol, we both missed it! I messed up the word firewall too. Guess I was trying to save a vowel. Been stuck doing updates all week, such a hassle. Makes you think about how many of these vulnerable units are still out there.

Update from January 2021: If you’re using a VPN with SonicWall products, there’s another vulnerability discovered. You should check it out if you're using one at home or for mining. Just be careful with the hardware you’re connecting to.

Bumping this thread from June 2021. Another vulnerability just popped up. If a known product like SonicWall has this many issues, just imagine how many cheaper home routers and firewalls are out there with outdated firmware. Some of them might not even have support anymore. Just something to think about.
