Hi, With the default settings on an orbi router I see my PC which is running mcafee firewall is detecting and blocking connection attempts on various tcp ports. Is there any way to block more ...
For some reason my earlier post (post #8) on the previous thread is not appearing after numerous attempts to post it, so I started a new thread.

My answer:
I ignore the LAN attempts but not so happy about the smart TV ones!
Other than that I have several WAN attempts:
52.18.245.183 amazon cloud tcp 65519, 64132
54.199.212.212 amazon cloud tcp 65514, 64154
54.64.120.121 tcp port 49163, 49164, 49166, 49167, 49168, 49169
210.138.249.114 internet initiative japan 64054
54.71.95.145 tcp port 55026
Just wanted to know how to block these at the router level.
The above is connection attempt logging from McAfee running on a PC.
Not sure what my Mac does about them...
