DoS Attacks, RST/ACK Scan. Disconnecting from old Computer game when this happens, (Ultima Online)
I am at my wits' end, trying to figure out how to stay connected to this game when this happens. Nothing else is affected, not the Cable TV or other programs on the same computer or another computer....
The router shows these kinds of log entries quite a lot and is usually a false flag. Are you trying to use the Geo-Filter with the game at all? If so disable it/delete the device from the Geo-Filter and see if it stops then.
I am not using the Geo fence as the game I am playing was not in the list.
It looks like the game I am playing uses port 80, as does a lot of the traffic from the false flags. Therefore, when it labels this traffic as nefarious, the router perhaps momentarily stops the flow on port 80, causing me to disconnect from my old game that can not handle this action. The only thing I can think of now is replacing this router with something that does not throw false flags, like John Elway throws touchdowns. So disappointed in this router.
- Add the device to Traffic Controller and allow port 80 for it and see if that works better. You could also try setting NAT to Open in WAN Settings which relaxes the firewall a little - start with this one first.
Done. Monitoring over the next few days....
