ok, false positive then ;-)

Noted.

Thanks for the feedback. I have now remove the bandwidth limit I had 
initially put, have created a new measurement, and confirm that it 
includes the sw probe.

One last question though: you mention bandwidth reporting being "opt-in" 
for sw probes, but I can't seem to find where the setting can be 
adjusted on the probe web page. Is it user-modifiable somewhere ?

Thanks for the confirmation. It was also my understanding that the probe 
does not accept incoming connections (which would not go through my 
firewall as it is configured now anyway), but with the SSH error log, I 
reverted the whole OpenSSH config back to defaults "just in case" ;-)
