RN422 connection log, what are those entries?

As I was on the admin page of my RN422, checking on status of some NAS>NAS backups, I found myself looking in the connection logs also.


There's not a great level of detail there but there are a few connection entries from root(user) with protocol shown as misc. I did a little geolocation on the IP addresses and they seem to related to Amazon hosting. I don't have Amazon cloud services active, so could someone cast light on these connections?

      Sorry I should have mentioned I do use ReadyCLOUD. I'd assumed Netgear were using Amazon hosting services, but wanted to check to see if anyone could confirm that is the reason behind those log entries. Like many I'm sure, I don't like seeing connections that I am unfamiliar with.

        ReadyCloud does use Amazon hosting.
