Orbi Pro SRR60 DoS attack: STN/ACK Scan
Hi, Is is normal to see in the Logs (Advanced/Administratio/Logs) to see a lot of dos attack showing up? And is there ways to stop it? Ans is router/WAN proteced? Below is a copy of what ...
Hi schumaku ,
Just to clarify and insure that I have the correct option on the Orbi Pro, I attached a screen grab from the Router......Advanced-setup-WAN
Is this correct??? I assume NO check in the first line "Disable Port Scan" That means that is is on right? that is the router is doing its protection?
Remember, I am not a techy person with this new hardware.
thanks

Asking is always a good approach of course.
The question is always if and how much logging should be done on consumer and SOHO/SMB equipment in this aspect. Other vendors simply suppress these activities, or put them to a different logging classes which are not enabled or visible by default. The Netgear way with the messages you see is always scaring non-experienced users, and long time active users here have seen virtually hundreds from scared owners.
