In NIS History: 3 entries appeared for the first time at last startup. Software “loopback Interface 1” (IP address: :::1), connection protected network (:::0) another instance of “loopback interface 1”. See pictures below. They are listed in the order appearing in history log. All 3 new events occur just before loading the expected network wireless adapter (picture 4). Nothing changed in network set up. Pics in order loaded and order from History log.
Picture 1: connected to protected network (::0).
Picture 2 – show a “Software Loopback Interface 1” (IPaddress 127.0.0.1). The IP 127.0.0.1 is not new to history, but it was protected never under “Software Loopback Interface 1”.
Picture 3 - Another Software Loopback Interface, this time for IP ::::1. ???
Picture 4 – the normal event (always in History each startup) initializing the Network Wireless Adapter
Questions:
1- Why the 3 new (their first time seen in NIS History events (Pic 1, 2 and 3)? What does it mean?
2- What mean: connected to protected (::0)? (:::0) ???
The Loopback Interface is an internal network that software uses. 127.0.0.1 is the IPv4 address, ::1 is IPv6. "Protected" is Norton's Network Trust Level that it has assigned to the network, and corresponds to the group of firewall rules that are being applied to monitor the traffic. This is all normal and nothing to be concerned about - I don't know why you haven't seen it before, because the loopback interface should always be there.
