DoS attacks in log
Hi, I've been getting these Dos attacks from the same ip for a couple days then turned on DoS protection and went away for a day until today I got these DoS attacks. The ip I'm talking about are the ...
So what should I do? I have these logs with both the DoS protection on and off. Here is the recent logs of today. There are more but these most recent:

It seems that it is not "DoS protection" that creates the log, but something else.
My advice was to TURN OFF LOGGING of Dos Attacks. (See above.) This is not the same as Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection which is possibly what you have done.
In the Administration area of Advanced management, go to the Logs section. Uncheck Known DoS attacks and Port Scans.
Or just ignore those entries.
