Log shows internet connected (WAN side) to private network?
Yesterday's emailed log file shows that the WAN side connected to a private network IP address 22 times in the span of about eight minutes. Here's a portion of the log entries: [Internet connected] IP address: 184.166.*.*, Friday, Jun 09,2017 03:13:46 (masked real WAN side IP) [Internet disconnected] Friday, Jun 09,2017 03:13:39 [Internet connected] IP address: 192.168.100.10, Friday, Jun 09,2017 03:13:11 [Internet connected] IP address: 192.168.100.10, Friday, Jun 09,2017 03:12:56 [Internet connected] IP address: 192.168.100.10, Friday, Jun 09,2017 03:12:39 [Internet connected] IP address: 192.168.100.10, Friday, Jun 09,2017 03:12:23 [Internet connected] IP address: 192.168.100.10, Friday, Jun 09,2017 03:12:07 [Internet connected] IP address: 192.168.100.10, Friday, Jun 09,2017 03:11:51 [Internet connected] IP address: 192.168.100.10, Friday, Jun 09,2017 03:11:35 [Internet connected] IP address: 192.168.100.10, Friday, Jun 09,2017 03:11:19 [Internet connected] IP address: 192.168.100.10, Friday, Jun 09,2017 03:11:03 ... I've been reading these logs for years and have never seen this activity before -- should I be concerned? Have I been hacked? I don't understand how an attempt to connect to the internet could connect to a private, non-routable IP address like that.Solved
