RBK40 black list external IPs
Hi All, I'm wondering is it possible to black list external IP addresses ? In my router logs i can see a lot of "failed login" attempts (in hundreds). I can stop the remote management funtion, but ...
I am not aware of any mechanism to blacklist specific IP addresses. Even if there were, my guess is that this would be similar to me blocking robocalls. Since they spoof telephone numbers, I can add a block after every call that comes in and they just keep picking new telephone numbers to spoof.
I take solace that the log is reporting attempts that the Orbi detected and repulsed. It's just a reminder that we do not want our devices exposed to the internet if we can help it.
