Sure, I don’t really judge. Asking tech support questions is hard. You need to find the correct place. Volunteer some information, while you probably don’t even know which details are relevant… It’s rarely ill intent even if someone doesn’t get it exactly right. And your question seemed genuine to me. I’m not a mod here, though. I can’t really comment on if it’s been the right place or not. I’d say maybe find another community to ask support questions about networking. And if it’s just this one time, just attribute this as a mild overreaction by the mods. Oftentimes the lines are a bit blurry when making those kind of decisions. I still think you deserve an answer to your question, but yet again I don’t know the details…
