Good article, but can anybody give an example to explain "If the self IP address is configured to allow a connection to the destination service port, TMM hands the connection off to the Linux operating system, which then processes the connection request" mentioned in the article? - TMM does not handle the SSH or web UI. Those are Linux userspace applications.
