DOS attack from Germany now?
This has been showing in my logs recently. [DoS Attack: SYN/ACK Scan] from source: 148.251.48.231, port 50002, Monday, November 25, 2019 09:42:27 https://www.ipinfolookup.com/148.251.48.231 ...
The firewall in the RBR is already blocking. It's just reporting what it's seeing. I would make contact with your ISP and let them know whats happening and have them change your WAN IP address there giving you. Usually a power OFF of the ISP modem for 1 minute will be needed. Also something to do, power OFF The ISP modem over night then back on or leave it off if nobody is home for a extended period of time. This can trigger a new IP address from the ISP sometimes.
So wait does it change everytime I power cycle. I had to powercycle the other day due to Comcast issues. I usually leave the modem off for a minute before plugging it back in. Does that do it too?
Only if you power cycle the modem which may trigger a new IP address assignment from the ISP. Leaving it OFF or long periods of time may do this as well.
