Thought experiment for you: Suppose that is true, and I install Resolve on two of my PCs, and one of BMD clients who has had access sold to them -- as you put it -- tries to connect to my address over IPv4 to one of those ports. Which PC would answer the connection? Same question, different phrasing: to which device's port would it go? > Don't listen to Oliver or Phil or Jim or others.

Lots of programs listen on inbound ports: $ lsof -i -n | grep vlc vlc 1657953 rob 11u IPv4 40096648 0t0 TCP *:8080 (LISTEN) vlc 1657953 rob 12u IPv6 40096649 0t0 TCP *:8080 (LISTEN) The sky is not falling. You are free not to use the software and grumble about open ports if you like, no big deal. However, it is poor form to accuse them of enabling viruses, and worse to accuse them of selling malicious access. As an aside, this thread has gotten way off-topic and folks are once again throwing insults around. It is not a good look.
